Feel Like Something is a short psychological sci-fi film born from my dreams and the blurred fictions of waking life. The story grew out of a recurring dream sequence that felt both intimate and mechanical — a looping conversation between two figures suspended in a transit system that never arrived anywhere.

The project is inspired by the writings of Gilles Deleuze, especially his ideas of multiplicity, difference, and repetition, as well as the atmosphere of Capitalism and Schizophrenia — where identity fractures and reality becomes a network of simulations. The film translates those concepts into a visual and emotional language: a love story that keeps reconfiguring itself inside a system that can’t stop feeling.

I learned how philosophy can shape cinematic rhythm — how the folds of time, desire, and perception can be expressed not through explanation but through texture, sound, and repetition. The process involved building an intentionally unstable narrative architecture, like a rhizome: nonlinear, recursive, alive.

The biggest challenge was balancing emotion and theory — keeping the film human while letting its structure remain philosophical and strange. Crafting performances that felt real inside an unreal world required restraint, vulnerability, and precision. The result is a film that sits somewhere between dream and system error — a study of love, memory, and the machinery of feeling.
