I Was Here Once

Electronic Music Senior Capstone
Short Film by Stevie Lyles

I Was Here Once is a short film featuring completely original electronic and acoustic compositions. The film, written, produced, and composed by Stevie Lyles '26, explores her interpretations of anxiety and dissociation through the lens of a sheet ghost. The story is told without dialogue, only subtitles and musical lyrics, taking viewers on a journey of their own interpretation, asking the question: what, or who, is home to you?
