This is not a movie. This is a cry.
How we are, why we act like this. Is there any hope left?

The Other is an experimental short, looking at the loss of a single
woman as a metaphor for the ways in which women in general are erased
or lost from society. The first half of the film is narrated from the
woman’s point of view, after she has already died; the second half is
from a man’s who is still alive and mourning her. I wanted to show in
as deeply personal and poetic a way as I could how both men and
women—all of us—suffer when the female half of humanity suffers.
