Synopsis

A pair of unlikely travellers encounter a young man on the highway who seems to have forgotten that he can be seen. Collector explores the concept of semi-private spaces and how we act when we forget that we might be being watched.

Produced as part of the 12th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.
