A WITNESS
Short
"The world ended but theirs is just beginning. Three people brought together by nothing short of fate. Thrown into a post apocalyptic age as children left our trio with little understanding of basic human emotions, such as love. Like any true cynic, James, is questionable of the idea at best. He watches the love story of Jane & Bodhi unfold in front of him, fascinated by the purity and magnitude of it all. With the help of his favorite authors, Shakespeare & Stephanie Meyers, James documents the romance like a true historian. And like most great love stories, told and untold, tragedy follows closely behind with every step."

Everyone remembers the hollow left behind by the disappearance of human life. The melancholy—and the need—for everyday urban chaos. The frantic movements, the endless lines, the absurd traffic that, once gone, ended up magnifying an entire chapter of our history.
It was a time when truth shrank into moments of stillness, slipping easily into the possibility of being false. A time when truths—and the debates built around them—had to be kept intact, even when their fragility was obvious.
That same tension lingers in the road lines that open the film: directions without destinations, paths that lead nowhere. It grows stronger in the elegiac soundtrack that frames a vertical cityscape, where oversized statues stand as the only living witnesses of a frozen public space.
Two figures step into this setting. They move forward carrying the weight of uncertainty—born from the emptiness below them and the edges that hold them up.
Against the void, against the illusion, they run, nameless and unseen.
And yet they reach another place, where they finally emerge—descending into the underground of a crowd that seems, somehow, to have been waiting for them…
