I explore the common desire to make lasting emotional connections, trading individual identity for the power and comfort of belonging to a larger community. Taking advantage of the unreliable perception of time, at a very primal level, the film provokes disillusionment caused by feelings of isolation and abandonment while questioning the audacity of the persistent, seemingly indestructible, "self". The inspiration for this film unearthed itself when I began spending long months roaming around the French countryside and reflecting on life. Working in remote villages forced me to slow down and adapt, turning inconvenience into an opportunity for innovation and self reflection. Everything is transient. People come and go, emotions and personal attachments whirlwind around in a tornado of intimate international social interaction. "Grounded - Bien Fondé" is the result of having the chance to be truly removed from the world as I know it and the unshakable whirling thoughts building strength and haunting my mind for the last thirteen years.
