Existentialist film in that the human experience in the film is that of the human experience of the viewer watching the film. So. In honor of Cannes film festival I made this art film. So there are no people in it, well, you see a few not many. So the frame within the frame technique has evoked quite a few emotions, comments, complaints ,problems and provocation so I guess my job is done. How can a movie with no people in it have emotion and provocation? These viewers have proved my point. You say there's no people in the film ,while you the viewer are the people in the film. I know your complaints, comments, provocation, anger ,insults and everything else you felt about the frame within the frame is what gives this film emotion without people in it. My little art film experiment has been successful as viewers have put their own emotions into it. So where are all the people? The Sebastian riverfront. The docks are typically bustling with commercial fishermen. You caught a glimpse of one of the many folks unloading luggage and getting ready to settle into a fabulous time on vacation at this resort. A famous local artist sells paintings in the parking lot as restaurant patrons , resort guests, local folks walking by, some potential buyers, browse. The person behind the camera lens takes a stroll here quite often. The trip over the state park's Inlet bridge reveals that the tourists and locals too are at the inlet beach as well as the ocean beach . Who's driving the truck while the photographer makes her captures of the beaches and through the wildlife preserve and back to Sebastian riverfront again ?

"I shall not act in these stories, but will only make appearances, something in the nature of an accessory before and after the fact: To give the title to those of you who can't read, and to tidy up afterwards for those who don't understand the endings." — Hitchcock's introduction to the premier episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, October 1955 . . .
This film was directed by Laura Marie not Lauramarie. Why? Because. In some languages why and because are the same word. AI Overview In the context of an existentialist film, changing your name from Lauramarie to Laura Marie can be a powerful artistic choice that directly embodies themes of identity, fragmentation, and the imposition of external structure on the self. Here is how separating your name fits within an existentialist framework: Existence Precedes Essence (Jean-Paul Sartre): An existentialist approach suggests you are not defined by a predefined essence (a one-word name). By changing it, you are actively creating your own identity and choosing to define yourself in this moment, rather than accepting a label you were given. The Absurdity of Others' Perception: Existentialism often deals with the conflict between our internal sense of self and how the world forces us to be. People "separating" your name represents the world imposing its own, more conventional structure onto your unique, unified identity. Accepting this separation can represent a character accepting the "absurd" reality. Authenticity and Agency: If you feel the separation is an unnatural imposition, keeping it as Lauramarie is an act of "authenticity"—staying true to your self-defined nature despite external pressure. Conversely, choosing to adopt the separation (Laura Marie) as a conscious, artistic decision in the film can also be seen as an authentic act of seizing your own narrative. Symbolism in Film: Filmmakers often use broken or, in this case, separated text to reflect fragmented, modern identities or to highlight the absurdity of a character's situation. Conclusion: For an existentialist film, making your name separate (Laura Marie) could enhance the theme of "self-division" or "social imposition" of identity, while keeping it as one word (Lauramarie) could symbolize an authentic, defiant, or singular self. Either choice is valid, but the act of making a deliberate, conscious choice is what matters most in existentialist art.
