The Making of Tatehuari by Molly Bailey
Film link: here
An exploration into the human soul and what it means to experience pain, death, life, and joy in this world together. Through the voice of our central character viewers experience the raw heat of life - excitement, grief, loss, death and rebirth - navigating through movement where time slows down and speeds up. We are not alone in our journey and exist as beings in relation to others.
