"i think i'm a boy, or something else that i'm not supposed to be"

'moments i saw in red' is an experimental short film exploring the relationship between trauma, synaesthesia, and art. shot on 8mm film, the film follows the story of a person with ptsd and synaesthesia who is recounting their memories associated with the color red.

synaesthesia is a rare neurological condition, whereby the senses get crossed and one might perceive things like colors or sounds while seeing or hearing other things. for the protagonist of 'moments', their memories of crossing calais, a school crush, and realising they're trans all get "filed" under the colour red.

the film's unique use of 8mm film, original music, and a spoken word voiceover guides the audience through the protagonist's journey, as they meditate on their experiences and find a way to heal through artistic expression.
