Saw this passing my Mastodon feed, watched it and found it relatable. Maybe an ok resource to share to all and help spread awareness? What do you think?

Bookmarked!
This film is excellent work. Everything, the camera work, the sound, the choice of music to help tell the story. Invasion, unease, confusion, hypersensitivity, the internalising of stress, sensory overwhelm, loneliness ... literally made tangible in seven-and-a-half minutes. Watched it three times and with earbuds too, and i felt like having lost track of time while watching it. Thought it was like three minutes short but it's actually a five minute walk.
