Chronic is an experimental narrative that delves into the life of Gretchen, a woman who turned to self-mutilation as a coping mechanism from a young age. Through visually surreal scenes blending scripted and documentary footage, the film portrays the culture Gretchen inhabits, her inner world, and her various relationships. Utilizing a range of optical printing techniques and diverse film stocks, it creates multiple layers of perception, allowing the viewer to experience Gretchen's story on an emotional and visceral level. The film's elements are woven together in an attempt to foster an understanding of the suicidal mind that transcends mere intellectual comprehension. —Kurzfilmtage - International Short Film Festival Oberhausen
