A foray into the mind. Distilled down to our raw emotions and desires; where does reality stop and our own perceptions begin? Through suicide and escape; is humanity eternally trapped by the essence that makes it up?

This highly personal trance-film, made in late 1989, was created by budding filmmakers with no other goal but to engage in filmmaking itself. The narrative of Essence surrounds Daze, a character who searches for answers about his situation but only encounters more and more confusion.
