Seeing a Sleeping Woman
Seeing a Sleeping Woman.
“Norian deals with the succinct, the observation that stops early, perhaps even at times with the unsaid. His work is all his own invention.”
Seeing a Sleeping Woman is a short film I wrote and directed about a chance, momentary encounter between a man and a woman he sees asleep in a passing car.
Based on an original poem, the film strives to chart a new form of cinematic narrative with its interplay between the visual and the written. It's also one of the last films shot on Kodachrome Super 8, demonstrating a dedication to finding and exploring any medium to capture a story.
Could there be a connection, an experience, shared by the two protagonists? Could their meeting bend lines of consciousness and time?
It's a romance synchronized to the tempo of our daydreams.
