Amoransia is a short film named after a written-word project of the same name by John Koenig from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. Following Laviana in an increasingly strange series of events and her connection with a shadowy stranger. Longing to be desired is a human instinct. The thrill of a chase often idealised in media is explored through tropes of ‘the dream ballet’ and ‘dramatic unmasking’ Comparing connection to passing through a fantastical threshold with a cold, uneventful ending as a means to show the moment of disenchantment when the connection is not what you first thought. Utilizing layered, glowing footage with a blushing colour grading to emphasise how these feelings can be all encompassing
