Liya Kebede
The Being Experience by Jennifer Elster begins with “... In the Woods,” a multi-part film series that is a mystery to everyone, even its subjects. A daring walk into the unknown, the film series delves deep inside each subject and ends up in unchartered terrain. “... In the Woods” errs on the side of risk, penetrating what is often unspoken, and existing outside of the bounds of how we are expected to behave. The series operates on multiple levels of consciousness. It is an ongoing journey to be released on a variety of platforms. Get ready for an unusual ride.
