Every Day (2018)
Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
16-year old Rhiannon falls in love with a mysterious spirit named “A” that inhabits a different body every day. Feeling an unmatched connection, Rhiannon and “A” work each day to find each other, not knowing what the next day will bring.
In Every Day, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “body‑hopping spirit world”. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, love, consent, mortality, gender.
