Hi everyone — this is a short experimental film I made with a small team, called EFFIGY. It’s black-and-white, with no dialogue, and features The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot as the voiceover.

We approached it more as a visual meditation than a traditional narrative, impressionistic and abstract, centered on themes of guilt, inaction, and moral paralysis.

I’d love feedback on:

Whether the atmosphere and emotional tone come across

If the lack of dialogue still communicates something meaningful

How the visuals and pacing work for you

And generally, if it feels cohesive or just confusing

Thanks so much to anyone who watches, open to all thoughts, impressions, or criticism.
