Headless is a short film largely inspired by the philosophies of non-dualism and determinism. Is there a self? Is there free will? Follow our protagonist as he awakens one day only to lose his head, triggering a crisis for understanding. Immerse yourself in his exploration of consciousness. Watch it ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠ (YouTube) or ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠ (TikTok). Marcos and Jim discuss philosophy and theoretical physics as they relate to art and life.
