the Is have it
the Is have it is a screendance short film that listens for what surfaces when attention turns to our innermost voice. Filmed in the dense forest of Northern Minnesota, the landscape echoes the depths of one's mind. Mover, camera, and viewer release certainty, wander, and linger with sensation. Deep listening becomes an action. Getting lost becomes a method. Surrender becomes an invitation to find/feel something new.
 the Is have it is available for screening. Contact Kayla to arrange.
