Sense of May

May enters a café to grab a coffee and is quickly overwhelmed by the dominant sounds, people and activity that surround her. This film is an exploration into sensory overload in a public space, how May navigates this and how those surrounding her react. This film aims to start a conversation around sensory issues, particularly in public spaces. We hope this film evokes an understanding and sense of empathy of a common, shared experience.
