Overview
Decoding Thoughts is a ten-minute behind the scenes mini-documentary following the creation of Thoughts Become Things, a six-minute short poetry film rooted in the Bermudian Gombey tradition. The documentary explores how a team of Bermudian creatives built a work of poetic fiction authentically grounded in oral history, featuring candid interviews with the filmmakers, Gombey captains from several of Bermuda's active troupes speaking about the tradition and its future, and a Gombey mother who reflects on raising her sons inside a living cultural practice. Decoding Thoughts reveals the creative process, the cultural collaboration, and the community at the heart of the project.
