When we take the time to listen to the particular sound of an insect or the reverberation of a car under an overpass, a shared world is revealed to us. Elsewhere at Night explores our relationship to people and places in these pivotal moments of questioning and wandering. The characters in the film are variations of several versions of themselves across different ages, contexts, and countries of origin, united by a sense of grief and the desire to be elsewhere.

Through a sensory, sensual experience, I wanted to immerse the viewers in a waking dream where they’ll project themselves into a moment in their lives when they wondered if they were really in the right place. Our commitment and relationship with places are at the heart of this story. It sends us back to our roots. Elsewhere at Night is also an ode to the intangible links between all living beings, animals and nature—a film that will invite people to pay attention to the smaller things, and listen to the world around us.
