From I to I

The aim of From I to I is to communicate and convey impressions and concepts without the use of the spoken word or written language. Instead, it uses a mélange of visual stimulation in the form of real film mixed with animation alongside progressive soundscapes.

Set in China, the protagonist serves as a grip on structure and the 'real' until receding from view to let a new paradigm take hold. From I to I finds new methods and means of communicating by stretching and warping the cinematic structures we already know so well and leaving behind the didacticism of the spoken word.

The film is is split into 3 parts to gradually lead the viewer from a visual format they already know (1), into a perversion of empty speech which seems to disconnect from the visual (2), and then finally into a devolution and diffraction of structure (visual & auditory) where speech is not present but communication has to be gauged in an alternative way, the viewer understands what they wish to understand.
