A poetic-style documentary on the age-old question “What is the Meaning of Life?”
For this project, Mick and Blake filmed in locations all around Southern Alberta, capturing moments that paired well with the existential monologues driving the short film.
‘The Meaning of Life’ explores 9 individual’s blunt responses to being asked “what is the meaning of life?”
The goal was to capture earnest responses throughout the interviews, and link them together thematically, finding the common ground in what we all view as the purpose of our existence.
