Short animated film originally made for Diesel
I woke up from my deepest dream,
only to find the dream was reality.
I’m in a strange house.
The rooms have no windows, no doors — like a prison.
No walls, no ceilings, no floors — like an open field.
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
All around, a heavy, premenstrual silence.
Only the sky is getting closer.
only to find the dream was reality.
I’m in a strange house.
The rooms have no windows, no doors — like a prison.
No walls, no ceilings, no floors — like an open field.
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
All around, a heavy, premenstrual silence.
Only the sky is getting closer.
