"The Rattletrap" is the first of five episodes that I have released during the global COVID-19 pandemic and Shelter in Place orders. This particular episode was modified from its original 4-minute version to a two minute version. During this crazy time for all of us, I have been recording my grandmother's life stories. It has been something I have wanted to do for quite some time, as I have noticed her memories starting to fracture under the foggy spell of her dementia. Some days are more clear than others in regards to the details she shares - but always consistent is her humor, lightheartedness and pure enjoyment in life - qualities of hers that have made me a captive audience member from before the time I could talk. Creating these tiny found-footage films out of conversations that began simply as a way of preserving my grandmother's voice and memories, has reminded me why I became a filmmaker to begin with - simply for the shear pleasure of telling stories. I recorded, directed and edited all episodes. To see more of "Shelter in Place with Mum" visit https://vimeo.com/mahalic. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!
