A young woman returns to New York City and grapples with heartbreak, loss, and things unsaid.
“Unwritten” is a short experimental film inspired by Roland Barthes’ masterpiece, A Lover’s Discourse. Charlotte returns to New York City having recently lost love and on the verge of losing someone else important. She is tormented by memories, symbols, and the lingering tension of things she wishes she could say to her former love. We see Charlotte’s realizations about her relationships and herself as well as her transformation as a sentient being.
