Before the Birds Notice I am Gone

“Leave the light before the shadow finds you.”

Set against the rural landscapes of Bangladesh, a fractured soul contemplates a preemptive goodbye to a dream like love. As the opening notes of a melancholic song play, the filmmaker uses digital glitch aesthetics to capture a fleeting moment of trust. Fearing the inevitable sting of betrayal, he chooses to vanish first retreating into a visual fragment where the hope of 'both being there' can be preserved forever, unbroken and untarnished by the reality of departure.
