A hand-drawn, line-art film following a woman through a run of everyday and imagined scenes, a quiet study of the many roles carried inside one life.

The Brief

No written brief survives alongside this film, so what's below is drawn only from what the finished piece itself shows.

What Cumi Created

Cumi drew the film in a loose, hand-inked line style with a single yellow accent colour running through it. It opens and closes on the same handwritten title card, 'I Am So Many Things', and moves between scenes of a woman reading with two children, a broken lightbulb and vase scattered across a child's bedroom floor, handing something from a pot out to a crowd gathered at her windows, restoring broken pottery piece by piece, and giving a small gift to a child among cut flowers. The film closes by naming its own website, iamsomanythings.com.
