Idea
2022, English. Directed by Michelle Tattenbaum.
When a harried teaching assistant holds a series of online meetings with his students about their personal essays, his attempts to help them find meaning in their life stories gradually forces him to question the meaning of his own. A short film about the impossibility of making sense of what happens to us...and the necessity of trying to do it anyway.
