Over Water

About This Movie

Over Water is this fascinating visual exploration shot at 35,000 feet, directed by Paul Clipson. It’s not your typical narrative film; rather, it immerses you in the interplay of light and water during winter. The pacing is meditative, almost hypnotic, as it captures fleeting moments over the U.S., balancing between the East and West coasts. The practical effects of the natural light are striking, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that lingers. There’s a certain raw beauty in the abstraction here—no characters, just the environment, which invites interpretation. It’s an interesting study of space and perception, and while it’s not for everyone, it definitely carves its own niche in the experimental realm.
