Synopsis:
The Near Life Experience might seem to be an odd, extraordinary occurence, but in fact it happens to anyone. Why to be the self-stigma on your fixed, unchanging identity, as if we were never to act, never to desire, never to experience anything new?

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.
