"The Edge" is my senior thesis work. It is an exploration of memory and forgetting, love and loss, joy and grief, and how those can be experienced together and all at once. The script is expanded from a piece of flash fiction I wrote after listening to The Caretaker's "Everywhere at the End of Time":
“We are slow dancing on a grassy knoll that overlooks the edge of the dark void. It is the end of the world, the edge of the universe, the death of time itself. Do not look in too deeply.
It is incredibly still all around the edge. The only sound is that of the wind through the tall grasses- restlessly tugging it toward the empty abyss. That and the haunting echoes of aged orchestral swing music, as if through some far off corrupted record player.
Nothing else moves but us and the wind and the grasses, all swaying gently to the music.
It is peaceful and heartbreaking.”
