About

This split screen video presents a parallel visual narrative contrasting the morning routines of two young girls in very different living environments. Cinematographer Dan Freene captures synchronized actions including waking up, walking barefoot across floors, and having breakfast with family members. The left side depicts a bright, well-furnished domestic kitchen and bedroom, while the right side shows a more austere and rustic setting. Natural lighting and soft focus highlight the emotional expressions and intimate family interactions in both worlds. The video explores themes of shared human experience across contrasting circumstances.
