To perceive, from the Greek "touch at a distance." "Absent Presence" is the surreal journey of a disconnected body in an attempt to find itself in the spaces of an empty house. A game of perceptions, between the ambiguity of reflections and distorted shadows, which leads the viewers to wonder about the relativity of what they are watching: what is real to us? What can I move and what moves me?"

Close your eyes. You have a minute. It’s a lot and not enough. Breathe. Ask your roommate, who is an actress, to help you. 50 seconds. Arrange a barter with a friend who will be able to make music in exchange for logos. 45 seconds. There are two ways to do things quickly: short & sweet or quick & dirty and that’s always too dirty, too late, and too quick. But don’t worry, you have time. 30 seconds. Run….. a love letter to DIY films.
