GONE
Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Apathetic and numb to the joys of life, Tom realizes he is fully gone. A blend of serenity and chaos, Gone represents the existential crisis experienced when a person disconnects from reality. The surreal and mysterious fantasies are inspired by a true story of isolation.

"A surreal trip with style to spare."
- Cayuga Film Festival
“Wry and funny, dark and heavy but light-heartedly, successfully blends organic realism with heavy doses of avante-garde photography and editing.”
- David Briggs, Festival Director, Deep Cut Film Festival
“Chaotic yet serene, Gone: The Movie, exposes the psyche of a man who just doesn’t know if he’ll ever come back.”
- Lisa Aubry, Sister Midnight
“Gone is a short film that portrays the lead’s existential crisis as he drives around while listening to the radio, something that our judges can easily empathize with. The use of sound and abstract visuals including some experimental cinematography techniques and colour grading schemes placed Gone above the rest of our Experimental Category.
- AltFF Alternative Film Festival
