Seven Heavens

(2020, 72 minutes, motion picture cycle for live orchestra)

With enough force, will, and determination, rivers can flow in reverse. But the truth of the water is revealed where it meets the sky.

This trance-inducing film was produced in a collaboration with Chicago’s Fifth House Ensemble; a modular feature film designed to be in conversation with seven works by some of America’s greatest living composers.
