Intensive

Intensive (2020) by Oliver Pratt

My Project is a short film account of my time in 2020 where I was send to the Intensive Care Ward in St. Thomas's hospital after getting Covid-19 causing a reaction where my bodies immune system started attacking itself causing heart muscle damage, this ailment also known as MULTI SYSTEM INFLAMMATORY SYNDROME SECONDARY TO SARS COVID 19. Using interviews of my own recollection of events, culminating in the first time I was allowed to visit outside the ward. The story follows the feelings of disparity, confusion and unease as we go though some of the events and delusions I witnessed while on the brink of death. Also touching upon ideas of powerlessness causing by waking delusional hooked up and tied down to a myriad of different machines, and expressing the weird feeling of being brought to the brink despite being a healthy 21 year old with no previous medical conditions.
