Short poetry film 3'


In the two seconds after waking up from a deep sleep, there is a brief moment in which a just dreamt dream can feel as if it's reality. In this realm, nothing is lost and time doesn't exist. In this short moment of infinity, a girl feels the present of an old friend. A short visual poem on the deep desire of getting a hold on everything that has been lost.

Phantom Pain is the first film Amber has made. She wrote, directed, produced, filmed and edited the film herself. She developed this project without fundings and without crew on set. However, she is still keen to add this piece to her portfolio as she thinks it reflects her artistic signature as a film maker.
