After hearing Radiolab’s show about moments of death, filmmaker William Hoffman went out in search to find the moments of life. And in an attempt to define a moment, Hoffman produced what he calls “Visual experiment”.
The film is a celebration of life that was inspired by David Eagleman‘s book, “Sum”. The book itself presents forty mutually exclusive stories staged in a wide variety of possible afterlives. The author has stated that none of the stories is meant to be taken as serious theological proposals but, instead, that the message of the book is the importance of exploring new ideas beyond the ones that have been traditionally passed down.
