To Arrive At Home is a short documentary film about RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) at the Savannah College of Art & Design. RUF is a Christian club for SCAD students. The film opens a window into how the club operates in the year 2022: the kinds of events it puts on, the messages it sends to those who listen, and the positive effect that the community has had on its members.

Boketto (Japanese): Gazing vacantly into the distance without thinking.

Boketto is an expansive act, so that the physical reality gives way to the nameless infinity behind the smoke and mirrors of perception and synthesis. Something calls to us, under the guise of exhaustion or distraction. Not a different reality but reality itself, drawing you into a new way of seeing-by-not-seeing; true reality, free from the false syntheses of suspicion and fear. The house in our film lends itself to boketto in that the house is the liminal space representing the unfocused mind, through which the consciousness passes on the path to enlightenment.

Part of an experimental film series done by the BASK cohort.
