Synopsis: The universe does not care. The abyss is stupid. Narrated by author Bracken MacLeod, this Herzog-inspired fever dream uses 100% stock footage to reflect on the banality of existence.
Written, directed & produced by Izzy Lee
Narration by Bracken MacLeod / Edited by Michael J. Epstein
We've also worked on a number of other Izzy Lee films!
