Dust
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return
Directed by Isaac Lounsbury
Produced by Brigham Young University
A meditative, intimate family drama that uses a child's awakening to mortality and natural cycles to explore the spiritual weight of existence.
Sam's curiosity about life and death deepens on a family backpacking trip, where we see nature, loss, and the cycle of existence through the lens of a six-year-old child.
