Light (2009)
Runtime: 16 min.

Synopsis:
A prisoner of an unknown entity is interrogated about the very nature of his reality, culminating in an unexpected revelation.

Artist Statement:
This film explores different levels of "reality" created by the projection, reflection, and refraction of light, perceived through the lenses of the eye and of the camera. This was a thesis project for my senior year of college, produced on a shoestring budget of $1,300 and relying heavily on school equipment.
