A Triptych AORTA - Mortality - Trust - Humility

2026 • 11 min • United Kingdom
A real-life-experience painfully remembered to create a visceral 12-minute film-noir triptych where original poetry and iterative AI direction reconstruct the psychological landscape of a near-fatal medical emergency, charting a journey from physical rupture to spiritual surrender. This is VERSION 2 of the work with ‘TRUST” audiovisual AI props substantially reworked. I have diagnosed C-PTSD, this is not an inhibitor but more of an enlightening factor.The poetic works are published in “lines that Linger’, ISBN-13 979-8275243222
A TRYPTIC “The Arc of a Narcissist” - Rise - Collapse - Decay

A TRYPTIC “The Arc of a Narcissist” - Rise - Collapse - Decay

2026 • 8 min • United Kingdom
In a visceral triptych of ego and identity, three different faces embody the same narcissistic impulse—ascending through self-mythology, imploding under the weight of their own reflection, and confronting the fragile threshold between decay and rebirth. I have diagnosed C-PTSD, this is not an inhibitor but more of an enlightening factor. A Triptych: The Arc of a Narcissist is structured in three movements—Rise, Collapse, and Decay/Rebirth—each featuring a different protagonist, yet each driven by the same psychological engine. Rise. A figure constructs themselves in real time. Language is weapon and seduction. Presence becomes dominance. The self is engineered as spectacle—polished, persuasive, untouchable. Identity is not discovered; it is manufactured. And it works. Attention gathers. Power consolidates. The ego expands until it feels indistinguishable from truth. Collapse. A new embodiment, the same traits. The architecture begins to fracture from within. Certainty curdles into paranoia. Control becomes dependency. The need for validation intensifies, exposing the fragility beneath the grandiosity. The performance falters—not publicly at first, but internally. The reflection starts resisting the script. Decay. Another face, but the same pattern stripped bare. Without admiration, the persona corrodes. Grandeur collapses into isolation. The self, once inflated, becomes hollowed out—an echo chamber of its own projection. What remains is not power, but hunger. And then the rupture. Rebirth. The cycle does not resolve through destruction, but through recognition. The narcissistic traits are not erased; they are seen. Awareness interrupts repetition. For the first time, the self is not performing—it is witnessing itself. Rebirth here is not redemption. It is consciousness. And consciousness is destabilizing. Across 8 minutes and 37 seconds, the film evolves from character study into psychological anatomy—suggesting that narcissism is not confined to one individual, but moves through many, wearing different faces while preserving the same core. This film is a personal observation of narcissism—an inquiry into how the self constructs, protects, and ultimately consumes itself. The decision to shift protagonists in each movement was deliberate. Narcissism is not a singular identity; it is a transferable pattern. By changing faces while maintaining the same traits, the film emphasizes that the arc belongs to the psychology, not the person. The repetition is intentional. The discomfort is intentional. All poems and lyrics are written by me. The narrative structure is mine. The edit is mine. AI tools were used to generate and sculpt the visual and sonic landscapes through iterative direction. These tools functioned as instruments—responsive to refinement, tension, and pacing. The authorship remains singular. Every frame was guided, shaped, and constructed with intention. The aesthetic is visceral rather than atmospheric. I wanted the audience to feel inside the psyche—inside the expansion of ego, the fracture of illusion, the suffocation of isolation. The pacing mirrors inflation and implosion. As the narcissistic core destabilizes, so does the visual language. Originally, the final movement ended in decay. But that felt incomplete—almost evasive. Narcissism often survives collapse. It mutates. It rationalizes. Yet sometimes, in rare moments, awareness pierces through the armor. The alternate ending acknowledges that possibility. Rebirth is not salvation. It is confrontation. It is the terrifying clarity of seeing oneself without distortion. This film does not condemn narcissism. It dissects it. It asks what happens when the mirror stops flattering—and starts telling the truth. As a result of my medical emergency in December 2022, I have some disabilities which have driven me to push my artistic and creative boundaries,

ECHOES UNDER SKIN

ECHOES UNDER SKIN

2026 • 12 min • Brazil
In a room, during a rainy late afternoon, a closed-off and hostile man shares a table with a restless child who seems ordinary, driven by naïve questions. The dialogue begins lightly, almost playfully, but gradually turns into an intimate and relentless confrontation. The boy’s questions cut through buried memories, exposing fragmented episodes of violence, guilt, emotional loss, and irreversible choices. As the conversation unfolds, what initially appears to be fantasy reveals itself as a reckoning between past and present. The boy ceases to embody innocence alone and takes on the role of an accuser, while the man—once aggressive and defensive—begins to unravel. In the end, the child disappears, making it clear he was never external: the man remains condemned to inhabit the ruins of who he once was.

Piano Man

Piano Man

2025 • 16 min
Trigger warning: this film contains images of a dying person. Piano Man is a 16-minute experimental short film that explores life and death through a deeply personal lens. Inspired by the filmmaker’s experience of losing his stepfather, everyday scenes and memories are woven into a non-linear five-act structure, hinting at the unseen connections between those on screen. Instead of a traditional development process — no treatment, outline, or conventional editing stages such as rough, fine, and final cut — Piano Man was shaped organically from an archive of five terabytes of footage, allowing the narrative to emerge in the moment, guided by emotion, individuation and discovery. The result is a cinematic journey that blurs past and present, inviting viewers to reflect on the loss of a parent and the larger questions of why we are here at all.

SEVEN BLOOD-STAINED TAMPONS
A Giallo mutation of Cocteau’s La voix humaine Seven Blood-Stained Tampons is a lurid, confrontational reimagining of Jean Cocteau’s La voix humaine, filtered through Euro-Giallo excess and Proustian obsession. The film unfolds as a one-sided phone call between a man on the brink of collapse and the lover who is about to disappear from his life. What begins as theatrical melodrama curdles into something far more dangerous: memory becomes a trigger, intimacy mutates into violence, and longing detonates into murder. The film treats memory not as nostalgia, but as a weapon. Proust’s madeleine becomes a landmine: small sensory details spark uncontrollable flashbacks that bleed into the present. Trauma is not processed — it metastasizes. Each recollection pulls the protagonist closer to committing a crime he has already rehearsed in his mind. The murder is not the climax; it is the inevitable outcome of unresolved desire. At its core, the film exposes the hypocrisy of “respectable” emotional narratives. Cocteau’s original text disguises raw dependency and emotional sadism beneath elegant bourgeois suffering. Seven Blood-Stained Tampons tears that disguise apart. Same-sex desire is not treated as subtext or polite tragedy, but as something dangerous, humiliating, erotic, and volatile — a force that society demands be hidden, sanitised, and made palatable. The killer is not born from monstrosity, but from repression. Visually, the film weaponizes Giallo iconography: fetishized close-ups, invasive POV shots, obscene color, and deranged subjectivity. The killer’s preparation becomes ritual. The camera becomes complicit. The violence is ugly, excessive, and self-aware — not to titillate, but to indict the audience’s appetite for lurid spectacle. This is Euro-trash melodrama pushed past good taste and into self-loathing confession. Seven Blood-Stained Tampons is a film about emotional dependency, memory as poison, and desire as something society teaches us to turn inward until it erupts. It is a dirty mirror held up to polite tragedy — a love story that refuses to behave.

2026 • 3 min • Czechia
The ballad of the radio stems from a continuing series of meditations on culture, technology and the primacy of place and location. public and commercial radio transmissions have always signaled and attempted to represent the community in which it operates. Even simply the mandatory station identification cements the broadcast in a sense of place and often inspires a sense of belonging unattainable to even local television broadcasters in an age of satellite and internet/cable communication. Radio inhabits a realm of intimacy, its currency; sound and voice. An aural tradition that manages to hold on, adapting to evolving technologies. One of the most fascinating elements of radio is where it allows your mind to…
