from this side of space to the other side of the signal

The Green Wardrobe

A hybrid of psychodrama and essay film that considers a series of recurring dreams that feature a book titled The Green Wardrobe. Through various attempts at trying to figure out what type of significance a book that only exists in my dream might have for me, as well as its potential to be exploited as a starting point for a personal mythology, ideas are formed then fall apart, revealing more of the same thing that is somehow completely different.
