A Soft Bed Waits (work in progress)

A Soft Bed Waits is a feature-length experimental documentary centered on moss and the collapse of scale between human and moss worlds. Filmed through visible clusters of vintage magnifying glasses that invert and distort the surrounding landscape, the project merges micro and human perspectives into a shared visual field. Bryologists and others—scientists whose lives have been shaped by decades of close attention to moss—enter this altered space with their humor, grief, obsessions, and curiosity intact, as their stories unfold within a world reframed by distortion and proximity. Balancing play and unease, the film holds attention long enough for perception and relation to subtly realign at moss’s scale.
