Filmmaker Statement

Vibrations is a short story about rebellion, questioning the system and sparking a change in a fictitious Georgian England. At its core perhaps, it's a story about a mother protecting her daughter at all costs, then realising her daughter might not need her protection anymore. Its eerie setting and religious depictions are inspired by early christian mythology of divine retribution. The idea was to always seek the 'new' in these old legends and apply the 'old' with this new one. Conceptually, the vibrations are the source of life. Everything is always in a constant state of vibration at its own frequency and amplitude, from the subatomic level to the largest scale imaginable. Thus, resonance and reverberation describe more than just sonic behaviour - it describes nature, human and spiritual behavior. A new frequency, a new vibration is what will spark change in a given environment. This short film is the beginning of a larger story, a feature screenplay titled Seventeen Brothers, that develops this world and presents a broader narrative. But it all starts here with Blanche, questioning the way things are and changing it with her own hands.
