A Little Death
Filmmaker: Gina Telaroli/Meerkat Media
Fiscal Sponsorship Year: 2009
Film Type: Narrative
Set against the stark winter beauty of Nantucket, Massachusetts, A Little Death is a narrative film in which a young woman takes care of an island summer home while its occupants are gone for the season. It’s the story of a woman struggling to redefine the moral boundaries that dominate her life, while confronting the complexity of loneliness. The film assumes a deliberate and patient pace, not only to complement the young woman’s gradual introspective journey, but also to afford the audience time to reflect upon and consider their own relationship with nature.
