Shot on Kodak VISION3 16mm 250D

ENDLESS TRANSLATION is a 16mm personal essay film, completed under the guidance of John Bright Mann at Johns Hopkins University.

Wandering through the woods, sitting atop the trees, listening to the rush of the creek— this film immerses the viewer in the sensory experiences of the subject’s environment. Born of feelings of burnout and dissociative melancholy, this film is an attempt to reconnect with the world while attempting to understand your place in it. Screened at the JHU Film and Media Studies end-of-semester screening Spring 2024.
