A familiar process, the transformation of sugar, butter and chocolate, presents itself as a site for challenging assumptions about reality. Knowledge is questioned by pointing to the authority of the frame, the context by which conclusions are made. An animal and a human encounter one another through a shared ritual by peeling back layers of experience.

Director's Bio:

Hannah Raye White is a filmmaker engaged demonstrating complexity in order to point to the richness of life. By rendering abstract concepts into concrete representations, she considers how seeing, breathing, and feeling influence the human experience. Her work pauses, isolates and expands upon these moments in order to attend to deep and automatic processes found in these brief exchanges. She earned her BA from Carleton College (Northfield, Minnesota), and she is currently an MFA candidate in the Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres program at UW Milwaukee.
