The Other

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.
