“Come and find me.” A study of attention through meta narration and impressionistic footage of bumblebees, water lilies, and sunflowers.
Makyo
In Zen Buddhism, “Makyo” refers to the comfortable nest we make out of our delusions. In this impressionistic, dream-like film, a young man prepares to give up worldly comforts—and relationships—to break out of those delusions. Through surreal chance encounters with an old friend, a vacuum salesman, and even bugs, Abner learns how to find stillness in a chaotic world.
