Between Raindrops

3 views

“Between Raindrops” follows a solitary figure walking through rain-soaked woods, reflecting on the true meaning of power. As they move through the elements—rain, mud, and nature’s rhythm—they contemplate the strength in listening, feeling, and being in harmony with the world. A slip on wet leaves becomes a metaphor for resilience, as they rise again, embracing the experience. The sun breaks through, and the figure sheds their rain gear, finding peace on a bench as the storm fades. The scene captures a journey of acceptance, where strength is found not in control but in flow.

biography

Inspired by The Purple Rose of Cairo, where a character steps into reality, my passion for storytelling was ignited. From live events as a technician to acting in Ken Loach's Hidden Agenda, these experiences fuelled my love for storytelling across film, TV, & beyond.
