notes This was mainly an editing project. Inspired by the Odessa's Staircase scene in Battleship Potemkin, I wanted to create a feeling through association using only unstaged footage and music.

Whether it was true or not, I had heard that Vancouver was in danger of sinking with a major earthquake. The aim of the film was to simulate the submergence of Vancouver.
