Breathe

Breathe in the Air

Award-Winning **Short Film**

When we breathe in, we are breathing in the laughter, tears, victories, passions, thoughts, memories, existence, and the joys of life. 

And we barely notice it.

Breath takes us on a journey that explores everything that life is– from birth to excitement, shock and awe, love, surprises, and even death. 

Blowing out the candles on your birthday cake, sharing a first kiss, warming your hands up on a snowy day, grieving the loss of a loved one.  We will take millions of breaths in thousands of ways across our lives.

Feelings often come and go like clouds in a windy sky.  Conscious breathing remains our anchor.  We wonder if Beethoven held his breath the first time his fingers touched the keys, the same way a soldier holds his breath the first time his finger clicks the trigger? 

We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.

It’s the essence of human life that’s beautifully captured here.  Who knew such a short compilation focusing on the myriad ways people breathe could make for a very cool short film?  It may only be a few minutes long, but it’s filled with such rich, emotional material to give one pause for thought. 

Breath is a video that will have you sitting back, relaxing, and remembering to experience life for all its worth.  It’s a reminder to live in the moment, to live in the breath.

And of course, to breathe.
