Musically and visually designed based on a neuroscience research project, this experimental short film explores the deeply rooted biological connection that the human brain forms with complex images, sounds, and music. Using drones for aerial photography and special Infrared cameras, fifteen-year-old filmmaker Michelle Marquez breaks down the barrier between science and art in this unique visual and auditory experience.
