What's done in the dark

Alone

An exploration of who we are when no one is watching: the freedom we experience, and the loneliness - the way we sing, dance, love, cry, and dream when we are alone.

ALONE, an experimental short is a contradiction: we watch people, as they behave, while alone. But that very concept, alone, means that no one is there to watch.

In ALONE, there are scenes you will wish were longer, and others that you wish you could look away from. There is a deep-seated fascination that each of us, as humans, possess for each other, and an equally deep-seated insecurity we harbour within ourselves. We can be gross, brave, depressed, and downright strange when nobody’s watching, and we wonder, but most often forget that others can be too — after all it’s those moments when we’re alone that we are in our most natural state. Hodges’ collects these stolen, private moments, pushing past appropriate boundaries to give us a fly-on-the-wall perspective into "being human".
