DEAR TREE, PLEASE DON'T SPILL ON OUR GRAVE. 

Dear tree, please don't spill on our grave. tells a short story about the history of humankind. In an attempt to make sense of it all, the film origins from a somewhat dry research to 'how did we get here?' and 'what is that 'here' anyway?'. Of course this lead to nothing but more questions. So here is a clunky film about adventurous Anna, who lives in a toilet, and who accidentally throws herself a surprise party.

Short film, 15’04                                                                                                                                               2021
