HAWTHORNE

Hawthorne takes place in the darkest part of night, emerging from the outdoor sounds of crickets, bullfrogs and owls. Elements of ghost stories and the grotesque surrealism of night terrors are juxtaposed with moments of ethereal beauty, incorporating children’s drawings floating and bobbing to the music. The frantic voices of children playing reach a crescendo over the increasingly crazed music of the coda. Live action cameras multiply my hands across the projections.
