INSIDE OUT
Miriam suffers from agoraphobia and has not left her Brooklyn apartment in two years. Anything she needs from the outside world is taken care of by her pushy housekeeper, Jodie. When a homesick Megumi enters the picture, everything changes.
Inside Out investigates the relationship between agoraphobia, sound, and a life lived indoors. Ultimately, "inside" becomes outside and "outside" becomes inside, both visually and through sound. To create Miriam's reversed worlds, everyday indoor and outdoor sounds have been switched to emphasize her disturbed state.
