Discontinuity

narrative short

Discontinuity highlights the unexpected fissures that can form between us, including the things that can fall in and get lost. When Tabitha returns “home” after a separation from her boyfriend, Stephen, what they’ve been missing becomes opaquely clear and who they’re becoming makes it hard for them to see each other. Their disconnections are mirrored in the film’s approach to editing, its confusion of time and space, and a free-wheelin’ clowder of cats.
