Ramble On

Written & Directed By Gael Guzman

Ramble On is a surreal, poetic short film about grief, invisibility, and the quiet fear of being forgotten. Set through a series of quiet, dreamlike spaces, a candlelit cafe, a foggy sidewalk, a soft blue street corner, and a golden hour cemetery. Each reflecting the emotional weight of a man trying to make sense of himself. At the center is Jason, a man wandering through moments that feel real and imagined all at once, meeting people who speak in riddles and watching the world bend around him. I wrote this because I want people to understand what Jason feels; that quiet ache of being present but not truly seen, of question whether we matter before we're even gone. As a filmmaker I'm drawn to stories that linger in silence and surrealism, and Ramble On lives in the spaces we usually walk past: the curbside conversations, the people we almost speak to, the memories we almost forget. The film captures that in between feeling, the grief we carry, the reflection we avoid, the fear of being forgotten. With a small team and your support, we're bringing this to life with care honesty, and a visual language that mirrors the inner worlds we don't often share.
