synopsis

Idle Times is an experimental episodic film relating the story of a family embroiled in an age-old drama, which attempts to engage the viewer with interactive elements and explore the mechanics that drive the medium of film. In creating the project Verhaest was asking: how does one create a narrative, or a character? What role does editing play in this process? How does one move an audience to enter into the illusion? How could interaction extend this illusion?
