CALDERA is an animated short film about a young girl struggling with mental illness. The story follows her as she goes off her medication and leaves a bleak metropolis to immerse herself in a vibrant oceanic cove.
"She is already transforming. Her skin is glowing, falling apart, and pieces of her shirt are floating weightlessly in the air. She looks down at herself splitting apart at the seams.
Light pours out of her and collects inbetween her extended hands."
- SCRIPT EXCERPT
This film is inspired by individuals struggling with psychotic disorders, and venerates the brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis. This story is about a young girl, victim to a similar fate, and the lush world seen through her magnificently vivid mind.
