Most people have had the experience of losing themselves in a film but probably haven’t given much thought to the transition we go through mentally and emotionally as we move from reality to fantasy. Film titles help to create this transition. The attention narrows, the “self” slips away, and the film washes over the senses. Film titles set the dramatic stage; they tune our emotions to the proper pitch so that we enter into the humor, mystery, or pathos of a film with hardly a blink.
We chose to rework the title sequence Lost in Translation. Two souls connecting over a course of a week, navigating isolation and connection.
