Drain

Something about drains has always creeped me out a little. I don’t like thinking about the water I use passing beneath the floor, into the street, and miles through the city, all within sealed darkness.

For this avant-garde exercise, I wanted to take the audience on a journey into that void. Although filming was as easy as it gets (one shot with no actors), the sound design process found me recording several different drains and faucets around my house. At the end of the film, I wanted the viewer to experience nothing but a silent black screen. Something about trying to give that “nothing” meaning was exciting.
