David Dixon :
How do we commemorate the lives of the dead in a post-religious, secular society? Filmmaker David Dixon meditates on this question and others in an interview that explores UNLOOSENED AND ROOT, a film that artfully blends documentary and narrative into an elegiac tale on mourning and loss.
