BRANDY EVE ALLEN

This film is prescribed and intended for therapeutic purposes, as studies have concluded exposure to imagery of nature is associated with improved mental and physical well-being. Our relationship to much of the natural world has become limited, including how we approach and honor the cycle of life and death, shifting away from things like menstruation and dying because they have become taboo. Blood Is Life offers humans a chance to release stress by meditating through a visual and audio Nature based landscape. The film begins with the burying of my brother’s ashes, symbolizing both literal and metaphorical renewal. This ritual act unfolds into a transformative journey through powerful notions of the primitive, the romance and fragility of life and death, and the incorruptibility of nature aiming to bring us back to the source, away from materialism and back to our true Nature.
