still from WASHOUT

 

In Jamaican Patois, the phrase "wash out" refers to a detoxification process in which one abstains from or rids the body of toxic or unhealthy substances. This short, sample-based film explores this concept from a psychological perspective-- when the body feels like a haunted house. What does it look like to rid oneself of that which no longer serves us? What's been projected, inherited, planted or what have we carried since birth? WASHOUT is for those who are afraid there will be nothing left when it's over.
