Escaping Reality
"To escape into our subconscious is a powerful way to ignore the emotions wed rather forget" Rachel Ranzolin's film centres on the character Lara Bennett who is suffering from severe grief due to tragic events. Rather than deal with her pain, Lara isolates herself, preferring to spend time in her imaginary world. This world shatters when triggers pull her back into reality. Through this film, Rachel explores how we deal with elements in our lives everyday that we wish to shut out, and how we seek refuge from our everyday reality, whatever the problem.
