It's Probably Not John
Louise Lohmann Christensen
United States, 2024, 8.29 min.
In English.
This film is family friendly.
In a grief circle, Laura shares her recent journey of losing John. How she sleeps on the floor, can’t keep her job, how friends disappear and how time spitefully continues to pass, though she wants it to stop. She shares how one day; she has a pivotal moment that brings her back from the darkness and restores her ability to live again.
Director's Statement
Grief is one of those human experiences that we cannot avoid, though we try to because it is so darn uncomfortable. In this film we are exploring what it means to not only lose someone you love, but your feeling of Self as well. How life loses its meaning, and how the smallest thing may help you find your way back. In some ways, you can call this film a love letter to grief.
