fiction • writer - director - producer - art director
Ava suffers from an immense lack of self-confidence and as a result has always observed life from at a distance through a pair of binoculars. To cope with the missing relationships in her life, she develops the delusion that empathy works a lot like a television network in the sense that everyone has their own channel and frequency. Later, she realizes someone she has been watching needs her help and that she must get over her greatest fears in order to save them.
