Once the Storm Resides

About This Movie

Once the Storm Resides is this intriguing mix of personal reflection and social commentary. Joshua Naish crafts a unique audiovisual experience using interviews and archival footage, along with his own poetry. It’s not just a documentary; it’s more like a meditation on identity and self-acceptance. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to really sit with these thoughts about who we were versus who we’ve become. The film’s tone feels both intimate and probing, all while being visually engaging. What sets this apart is how Naish intersperses his own voice with the voices of others, creating a collage that’s both cohesive and fragmented, mirroring the complexity of self-exploration.
