Sleepwalking In The Rift by Cary Joji Fukunaga
Living on instinct means stepping into the unknown, both behind and in front of the camera. This is a daring short, devised and shot in kenya across three days, by director Cary Fukunaga. Actress Haley Bennett plays a young woman caught between her past and her future. On this first visit to East Africa, she crosses paths with fares fares, the ranger charged with being her guide. they have something in common. and when they meet, a light within them both begins to flicker. Set against epic landscapes, two gentle souls rest in the moment, drawn together in a haunting and missed connection. The story of how this film was shot is just as important as the story of unspoken human connection within. Cary deliberately chose an honest, reactive style of working in spite of his love of carefully composed frames, because Maiyet is built upon a principle of transparency and collaboration.
