Program Note

As the one-year anniversary of the protagonist's fiancé's death approaches, people around her set her up on dates, encouraging her to meet someone new. Then, one day, she receives a phone call from her deceased fiancé. This short, directed solely through phone conversations and computer-generated images, demonstrates that sound alone can send chills down your spine. While it is highly experimental, the film possesses a compelling power that draws the audience in completely. (Kristin JI)
