For anyone who has recently lost someone close and discovered that grief doesn't follow the stages the books promised. A route for the twelve months after, not for the moment itself.
A chronicle of the year following her husband's sudden death — a writer's attempt to describe how grief actually works from the inside, against every cultural cliché about how mourning is supposed to look.
After her father's sudden death, the author sets out to train a wild goshawk — a book about how grief can, and cannot, be tamed through a relationship with a wild animal.
A quiet road movie about a woman who, after losing her home and her husband, chooses life on the road in a van — not as an escape but as a way to grieve and live at once.
When we lose something important, we discover new ways to be.
A film about how freedom won through the loss of everything that held you turns out to be its own kind of pain, not relief.
Pain teaches us to live more fully. Every day becomes precious.
I often make films about death, about loss, because it reveals the truth about life. We live in the shadow of death, and this gives life weight and meaning.
