A lo-fi short film shot exclusively after midnight on the streets of Ottawa, Canada in the winter of 2021/22.
A diary film comprised of archival home video footage taken in the years leading up to the filmmaker's birth, documenting their family in a foreign time and place.
A Lie to Save My Life is an abstract diary film reassembling old footage and integrating it with new shots intended for a different film. An experiment of liberation: to create something of the present moment from the confines of what a past self filmed, to share what they couldn't at the time.
