“Remission†is an art film inspired by the actual experiences of the artist with his struggle, loss, and redemption as a combat veteran adjusting to civilian life; his war after the war.
Filmed in more than 15 locations throughout Southern California, “Remission†employs formal filmmaking techniques paired with a unique storytelling style and a focus on creating beauty uncommon in video art. It features vibrant handmade creature costumes and breathtaking visuals of the California landscape; from Death Valley to Sequoia, each shot is carefully composed as if a painting. The elaborate handmade creature costumes represent the protagonist’s emotional journey through the struggle towards redemption. The culmination of these techniques creates an immersive experience evoking the sense of a deep longing to be restored and return home.
