Desolation

The short documentary Desolation

(Director: Trevor Marc Hughes)

Documentary/ 38 mins./ 2022

Format: Digital

Desolation is my short documentary about how, after a year-and-a-half of isolation and pandemic, an infectious disease specialist (Dr. Laura Sauvé) and her family (our son Marc Hughes and I) travel to one of the most isolated places in British Columbia to reconnect again.

It’s a film about finding gratitude in a seemingly remote place, an unlikely environment for finding an appreciation for elements that were, perhaps, taken for granted.
