M.E. is an animated documentary about an invisible illness also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or M.E. This is an experiment using different modes of representation: creating a simulation of photophobia by using bright contrast and flashing white frames. Olly’s room is a safe place that protects him from being overwhelmed outside, but at the same time isolates him from the world.
