Synopsis

You are also Us is a powerful exploration of the complex and multifaceted experience of invisibility. The film explores the themes of pain, joy, power, connection and resignation that come with the struggle to hide certain parts of ourselves from this world.
Through a nuanced and empathetic lens, the film examines the toll that keeping ourselves hidden can take, while also acknowledging the sense of protection and control that invisibility can provide. The work challenges the boundaries of what we are willing to share, inviting the audience to see, feel, and hear the profound impact of this experience.

Starting as the Director’s self exploration around invisible disability, over 400 people contributed to the research in finding what invisibility means to us all.

Translated through striking movement and composition, this work is filmed on drones in stunning National Trust locations in Dorset, UK.
