Project Description: At times, we find ourselves asking, "What’s the purpose of life?" especially during moments of hardship. Often, the answer is right in front of us, yet we fail to see it. This short film blends visual storytelling with sound design to convey a deeper narrative about self-identity, framed within the comedy-drama genre. The story explores themes of loss and the search for identity, following an individual caught in the repetitive loop of everyday life.
Concept: A young man, lost in the chaos of life, wakes up one day as a rock. Fearful and frustrated, he embarks on a journey to find his way back, and along the way, he gains a new perspective on life.
