FIRST PANIC is a film poem experiment.
I walk a lot. To find quiet. I have hyperacusis. I hear everything, all the time. I walk to find peace. Sometimes I can't find it. Noise pollution leaks into everywhere. One day, no matter how far I walked, I couldn't find quiet. I had my first panic attack. Yet what I felt was far more than that. This is a film that came from it.
