Breath: In Three Verses is an 18- minute documentary that takes the audience on a visual and auditory journey, revealing individual stories and perceptions of breath's focus, power and impact. The film unfolds in three 'verses' through a careful arrangement of composed segments, interviews and live action. Verse One: 'In, Out' captures sounds of breath, Verse Two: 'Catch , Hold' focuses on personal and professional ways of using breath and Verse Three 'First, Last' looks at birth and death. Conceived as a tribute to our life force, this short film inspires us be more attentive to one of the few bodily functions that is controlled both unconsciously and consciously: Breath.
