Discontinuity

Leaving August 31 • 15m

Directed by Lori Felker • 2015 • United States
Starring Sam Howard, Ben Johnson, Henry Comerford

Tabitha and Stephen have been in each other’s lives for a long time, but because of their jobs they must periodically live apart. When Tabitha returns “home” after their longest separation, what they’ve been missing becomes abundantly clear and who they’re becoming makes it hard for them to see each other. As the interruptions and incongruities pile up, DISCONTINUITY playfully mirrors these missed connections through a time- and space-collapsing approach to editing and sound design.
