Time and space merge as a mother and daughter heal their past and future selves in this ethereal short.
Directed by Hazel Baileh Klein Wolff
Director Statement
This film is a story not just about my life, but also the lives of the beautiful and powerful women in my family before me. I wrote this film about generational trauma, reconciliation, and redemption. I invite you to view this project through a kaleidoscope, shifting the ways you normally think about time and space. Because healing transcends above those things, into unknown realms of our own creation. This is my first film that I wrote, directed, acted in, and produced by myself. I spent the better part of 10 months working on it, and all the animation was done by hand using Procreate. This film was a labor of love and I am so proud of it. I hope you enjoy watching it just as much as I enjoyed making it.
