How To Be Alone

A short film, 10:30 min, 2019

A short film revolving around a young woman and a computer exploring virtual and physical worlds, searching for the right questions. In this film I examine the paradox of the internet: while sitting alone before the screen, I connect to an infinite stream of consciousness, souls, and knowledge.

I made it while living in Brighton, England, filming, acting, and editing myself. My twin brother composed the soundtrack, reminding me I’m never truly alone.

I made this film in 2019, before the pandemic forced everyone to be alone, in 2021 it won Best Experimental Film in the Jerusalem Film Festival.
