Overview
"Swimming with Stones is a narrative short film about the subject of grief. The story follows a woman's journey going through grief and reliving the memories on the anniversary of her daughter's death. She comes to a realization that unloading the weight doesn't mean leaving the memories behind. This film will have a heavy emphasis on cinematography. Through that, the goal of this film is to reach anyone who has or is currently experiencing the process of grief. It is to offer some insight or serve as a lighthouse in the seemingly never-ending storm of grief. It is not to say that there may be an end to grief, but that getting and feeling better and lighter at the end of a long tunnel is possible." -- Abstract
