The House In The Clouds
2015, 10 minutes
This is a sweet short film about a small boy who is being questioned on a very adult themes of death for the first time.
The House in the Clouds is a story about a young boys ini4al encounters with the adult world’s concepts and values surrounding death. It aims to look at the different systems people choose in dealing with life’s central issues, and the contradic4ons therein. The child’s mind is more of a clean slate; able to see clearer through the holes in man’s plans to avoid the inevitable and the fear of the inevitable. It is a semi-autobiographical study of home dynamics, and the isola4on of childhood. The pamphlet featured in the story from the Jehovah’s Witness is one that I actually received.
