New York, NY – April 21, 2020 – The upcoming experimental narrative short-film, Other States of Matter, completed the sizzle reel post-production. The project is seeking funds and production is expected to begin in late Fall 2020, with an anticipated release date in mid-summer 2021.
“The sizzle reel captures the aesthetic and the essence of the film. We can’t wait to bring the full script to life! It is my hope that this film will be my most ambitious work to date”, said Writer/Director Abigail He. Based on a dream and deeply influenced by psychology, surrealism and abstract expressionism, the story follows Mya, a 14-year-old teenager, who embarks on a dreamlike journey to explore female puberty, growth, and adulthood.
The film aims to raise the public awareness of the female psyche and to explore and preserve the analog handmade cinematic arts, its tools and technologies in the digital age. “I am interested in revealing the unconscious side of women’s mind and to explore the relations between female psyche and puberty, the awakening of sexuality and adulthood. To fully reveal the female psyche and the unconscious world, the expressive use of colors, visual forms and sound will intertwine and transcend the frame to tell the story as well as to incorporate the narrative into an organic body of work.” Abigail He added, “The film will be shot in 16mm color film and will be completed with the analog handmade cinematic techniques, such as celluloid painting and optical printing.”
The film is currently seeking production funds through grants. You can view the sizzle reel and support the project on the movie website
