I AM HERE: A Visual Meditation and Poetic Short Film
The Vision: From Spoken Word to Moving Image
I AM HERE is a poetic short film that transforms a spoken poem into a visual meditation on movement, presence, and becoming. The narrative explores the delicate space between where we begin and where we are headed, offering a visual interpretation of a poem while following the writer as its central presence.
The Location: Cinematic Landscapes of Schaffhausen
Set in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and its natural surroundings, the film translates the weight of spoken language into image and movement. The Swiss landscape serves as more than just a backdrop; it acts as a silent character that mirrors the internal journey of the performer.
The Collaboration: Performance and Cinematography
The film was written and performed by the talented Kirimi Kiage. It was co-produced and shot through a creative partnership between Blake Simpson and moel VISUALS. By blending high end cinematography with raw performance, we created a piece that is both intimate and expansive.
