Made In Reading Shorts
In this meditative, dream-like short, a woman drifts between memory and vision, recounting an encounter by a lake that may have happened long ago—or not at all. Her presence flickers like a transmission from another time or dimension, as monochrome landscapes dissolve into spectral color. Is she dreaming, remembering, or becoming something else? A hypnotic reflection on longing, the unknowable past, and the spaces between worlds.

Ghost Solitude
Ghost Solitude follows the quiet journey of a young woman’s spirit as she wanders through the familiar places she once loved — her home, a fading winter park, a library, and an empty theater stage. In the stillness of the afterlife she reflects on who she was and what remains, she begins to understand that solitude doesn’t mean absence — it means presence in a different form.
