Washed Sheets is a cinematic essay that delves into the world of childhood fears. Through a blend of animation, photography, and footage from the director’s own childhood, the film gives shape to the monsters of her past, bringing them into real life in an attempt to understand and confront those fears. This project offers a visually unique journey through memory and healing.
