EXPERIMENTAL FANTASY FILM – 5 MIN

Soft Charge is an experimental fantasy film set in a soft pink world, where cuteness, infrared imagery, and unseen tension coexist across Tokyo and inner landscapes.

CONTEXT

We follow Lila as she withdraws from sensory overload and turns toward intentional attention, curiosity, and making. What appears playful and gentle often carries an unseen charge.

INFRARED

Infrared videography extends this idea by revealing warmth, presence, and energy beyond human vision. By visualizing what is usually invisible, Soft Charge suggests that reality is broader than what we are trained to see — and that connection can be felt even when clarity is lost. Softness becomes a strategy, and choosing where to place attention turns into a quiet form of resistance in a world that constantly pulls us elsewhere.
