COPE (2023) revolves around death. It confronts the inner thoughts and headspace that follow heavy loss and remorse. The narrative audio of the film is formed from conversations between myself and the actor, Jesse Schneider before we began filming. This was an intimate project for me, as I have always felt at odds with the concept of mortality. I tried to produce this film organically to meet the tone of the subject matter. Jesse and I were the only persons involved with the creation of this video project.
