The elevator documentary that wasn't
In my dream, I was editing a film about elevator behavior - how strangers create temporary microsocieties, the unspoken rules of personal space, the way eyes meet and then dart away. The footage was perfect, but I couldn't find a narrative arc.

Reminds me of watching my bees in observation hives - same awkward dance, same avoidance of eye contact, same weird little society in a confined space. Never figured out their narrative arc either, just kept watching the tiny dramas unfold.

Elevators are like compressed social experiments - reminds me of waiting zones at biathlon competitions. The narrative arc might be in the tension between our need for connection and desire for personal space.
