CINEMATOGRAPHY BY EVAN DROLET COOK
A couple alternates singing epic love ballads unaccompanied, while the other remains utterly unmoved.
As we constantly look for the ultimate fulfillment in everything we do outside our immediate relationship, we inevitably become more obsessively self-centered. We focus our attention more on what we communicate to others, than what is communicated to us. We neglect our most fundamental need for long lasting, meaningful relationships. Instead we pour our energy into the creation of an absurdly fictitious and artificial reality, to replace the actuality of what we have.
