Set against the pulse of streetcars, cheap drinks, and shifting relationships, Come Forth, Half-Moon, Our Time Is Now is a sharp, darkly funny exploration of guilt, desire, and what it actually means to change... if it’s even possible at all.
Why now
This piece comes out of a space where people say and do harmful things without ever deciding that it matters. It looks at what happens when that behavior is no longer absorbed or ignored, but actually confronted.
World
Come Forth, Half-Moon, Our Time Is Now exists in a world that is both immediately recognizable and quietly unstable. A contemporary college social environment that gradually reveals itself to be shaped by something more psychological, symbolic, and interior.
I wrote Come Forth, Half-Moon, Our Time Is Now because I’m interested in the gap between how we talk about accountability and how we actually practice it. We live in a culture where people (especially young people) have learned the language of self-awareness very quickly. We know how to say the right things. We know how to apologize, how to name harm, and how to position ourselves as reflective. But knowing the language is not the same as doing the work, and I wanted to explore what happens in that space.
what’s real depends on what you want
A film will follow the process as it happens.
More to come soon.
