Dissolving Beyond the Worm Moon, 2019

Dissolving Beyond the Worm Moon was produced in relation to war, unrealized childhood fantasies, and representation within globalized media. The film imagines the traumatized body as a functioning time machine where gaps between timelines and glitches cause the present-day body to wane and is replaced by the body’s memory of past trauma. The film weaves a narrative from mental time travel, episodic future thinking (a projection of the self into the future to pre-experience an event), and PTSD.
