Ode to Procrastination
Rajam has piling errands and uncompleted work yet, she has not begun any of them. She wishes to wake up from the routine of being idle as time races, yet even her mind has no desire to wander out of the rut it has nested in. She makes peace with the liberty of being simply present instead of actively present. The film is made during the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2021 as part of the Film Pantoum Workshop with Khavn De La Cruz organised by Seashorts Film Festival.
