Leave Me Alone Don’t Ever!

While sitting in a pig-sty meditating on gloom and squirming compost, a spurned lover begins to spontaneously levitate. At first she’s unimpressed: “Not much of a levitation, a couple of inches, useful in places where the seats are hard, like customs offices, buses, churches, yoga class, but other than that, what’s the use?” But then, a revelation: “Maybe when she sees how spititual I’ve become, maybe then she’ll love me like she ought to.” She floats to her lover’s door in a desperate attempt to win back lost love. No dice. Things just go from weird to worse. “A pixillated panopoly of pathetic devotion in the energetic, eccentric style of the director’s ‘I’m Happy. You’re Happy. We’re All Happy. Happy, happy, happy.’” – Pacific Cinematheque “Leave Me Alone Don’t Ever!” is stunningly photographed with incredible colour saturation, set in the flowering meadows and surreal sandstone formations of BC’s Galiano Island. The film was originally created as part of the Cineworks Omnibus film “Breaking Up in Three Minutes,” a series of short films on relationships gone bad. As part of the requirements of the project, the film was shot in sequence, with only three edits.
