">Distraction" is a short film that observes how constant movement can become a way of avoiding stillness.

Built from quiet, everyday moments — working, scrolling, moving, pausing — the film reflects on how distraction often disguises itself as productivity, progress, or momentum.

Rather than presenting a conclusion, it sits with the tension between motion and rest, asking what surfaces when nothing is demanding our attention.

The film emerged from a series of late-night thoughts and was shaped through restraint: minimal dialogue, unresolved pacing, and an emphasis on texture, rhythm, and silence. Visually, it leans into intimacy and imperfection, allowing moments to linger without explanation.

Distraction marks a shift in my practice — learning to trust overthinking as material, and translating internal noise into something observed rather than suppressed.
