A Liminal Space Inspired Short Film

After falling into the strange liminal world of her own canvas, struggling artist Alex must revisit her past and confront her fears in order to find her way home. Inspired by liminal spaces and The Backrooms, Kenopsia was written to explore the phenomenon of liminality and what happens when we go through stages of liminal space in our real lives. Liminal space isn't just physical, we enter periods of liminality in our lives whenever we transition from one life stage to the next, e.g. graduation, coming of age/adolescence, breaking up, marriage, pregnancy, moving house, grief. Liminality is something we will all experience at some point or another in our lifetime, and as such it's important to know how to navigate and grow from the experience. After all, you wouldn't want to be stuck in limbo forever would you?
