A Room of One’s Own

March 17, 2020: “Have you been to Europe in the past two weeks?” They asked. “No,” I responded as I had just arrived back from South Africa. The JFK customs officer handed my passport back without another word and I was on my way. When I safely arrived back in Durham, still without any strict guidance, I decided to make the ethical decision to partake in a strict 14-day self-quarantine; this film is a product of that time. While it documents my house and the activities I engaged in during these 14 days, it primarily focuses on my emotional experience by depicting a story that weaves in and out of reality.
