This is the second time we’ve featured our friend Cass Sorokopas on 1VIBE, who stars in the short-film above shot by photographer Gerald Larocque. The concept of the piece was centered around the feeling of drowning, inspired by Sea Wolf’s “The Cold, The Dark, and the Silence“. Cass and Gerald set out to visually depict what it’s like to see your freedom while trapped under a piece of ice with no way out. Gerald also chose to shoot Cass in nude form to add a natural and realistic feel to the film, removing any stereotypes that a wardrobe and makeup would otherwise suggest. Below is a detailed description of each stage of the film to give you a better understanding behind its meanings. Also click here to checkout the first featured film of Cass on 1VIBE.

The Cold – As you begin to watch the video you take in the ice and something moving around as you slightly begin to piece together whats going on. From the prospective of the subject this is the beginning of her panic, realizing the possibility that she could die.

The Dark – At this stage you have for the most part realized that it’s a girl trapped and trying to escape from under ice in a river or lake. From the subjects prospective she is starting to black out, losing her vision as the situation starts to set in, she is frantic, fighting, pushing, swimming, as her body starts to shut down and die with lack of oxygen. In the darkness we are completely alone, staring into the face of our dimise, ultimately accepting defeat.

The Silence – This stage is the after math, the calm after the storm, as her lifeless body drifts towards the shore.
