First/Last

First/Last:
First/Last explores the first and last moments of life and relationships. These elusive moments cycle, intermingle, and reflect in us. Shot on Super 8 B&W reversal film, the film plays with time by simultaneously overlaying the duplicate footage in both forward and reverse speeds. The short, intimate experience captures the convergence of past and future selves in a one-take experimental performance.

Run time: 1 minute, 6 seconds
