Fantasyworld
Vincent Trapp
United States, 2023, 6 min.
In English.
A young boy reflects on his past before making a life-altering decision.
Director's Statement
Fantasyworld is heavily inspired by the album "I Didn't Mean To Haunt You" by Quadeca, which explores grief and regret in the afterlife. We often fear death so much that we forget the fears of those who have died, and especially those who have passed by their own accord. One may find it easy to grieve over the death of a loved one, but the thought of grieving your own life you no longer have is almost impossible to comprehend. I thank Quadeca for allowing filmmakers like myself to create works of art that relay this concept.
