Or Else I Shall Be Lost


A boy hunts the dragon that burned his town and comes to learn that revenge may not be the answer. This film drew inspiration from a variety of sources. The wanderings and disappearance of Everett Ruess, the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, the poetry of William Blake, various illustrations, and others. Ultimately it’s a story about finding our way back to nature and how to break the cycle of revenge. The dragon is both a guiding/positive force and an agent of aimless destruction.
