FILM PRODUCTION
An artist Joseph Cornell immerses himself in the music of Debussy as he makes his art, watching his creation slowly come alive. At the same time, a dream is visiting Cornell, influencing his thoughts and decisions, and guiding him on how to complete his artwork. Visual experience where real world begins and ends. It is almost as if there is a parallel universe mirroring our life.
