Why fix your lens on a place that is disappearing before your eyes? What still exists between lovers who haven’t seen one another in over 20 years? What if the memories you held most dear were proven to change each time you recalled them? Good-bye interweaves three distinct, yet related, memories: the slow desolation of wintertime Astroland (Coney Island) losing its battle with developers; a furtive letter between lovers as a woman pauses in her long journey, desperately trying to fix her heels in the shifting sands of time; and scientific theories of memory itself that reveal the ways we manipulate it for personal storytelling. All three studies eventually merge and transcend the pain of loss to illuminate the profound feeling that gives memory its enduring power.

This was the visual beginning from which I started to dream a film about my memories of a house. My intention was to creatively explore a building that has an enormous personal significance for me, looking back at what took place there and using that as inspiration to film

Set amidst drifts of snow in a desolate prairie winter, a weather-beaten lodge provides refuge for a disparate group of locals and travelers. Unlikely bonds form as each individual finds a way to move past isolation – freeing the lodge, and themselves, of the memories that haunt them.
