the art of boredom

Synopsis

'the art of boredom' is an improvised, surrealist psychological featurette that captures a raw, 41-minute existential crisis of the mind. Released in May 2025, the film follows Main Character (MC), an individual deeply disillusioned with waking reality who discovers a surreal inner sanctuary known as the "Dream State." Within this trippy, heavily color-graded landscape, MC encounters personified mental forces: the confrontational entity Boredom, the enticing presence of Creativity, and a stern Dream-like Therapist. As MC grows increasingly obsessed with the absolute freedom of this subconscious realm, his presence begins to disturb the balance of the dream world, sparking a tense internal conflict over where he truly belongs.
