Reality Clock

Amanda Tasse , 7:12

THE REALITY CLOCK is an animated portrait of a watchmaker’s struggle to accept the influences of early stage Dementia on his identity and sense of time. Shot in full 3D, using stop-motion, live-action and time-lapse photography, this impressionistic film references tests and dialog drawn from autobiographical works written by individuals with Dementia, while expressing broader themes of loss.
