A digital/film project conceived and executed over distance during the Covid-19 pandemic. With a creative team flung across states and continents, working from homes and studios, A Day traced four characters through 24 hours, shuttling between disparate experiences of reality, and exploring questions of consumerism, rest, community, and being online.
