My Selves Dissolving travels through the sensations during out-of-body experiences. Themes of dissociation are explored such as: sleep paralysis, autoscopy, and ecstatic moments. The abstracted images are visual adaptations of the filmmaker's experiences, attempting to reflect the power that resides in the unexplainable.

This film was made possible by the 2019 Alison Doerner Fund for Women Pioneers in Filmmaking
