'Night Lives' is a short collage film shot over the span of six years (2020-2025) that incorporates footage from multiple cameras of varying quality. The film focuses on lights in dark environments, often filtered through rainy backyards or artificial lights in rooms. The lives of nocturnal people are also documented, whether through raindrop-scattered visages of cars or within the habits of people living in darkness.
