Sound & Color is an experimental documentary about synesthesia, creativity, and the fundamental urge to be understood. It centers around a creative experiment with Sarah Kraning, a visual artist who has sound-to-color synesthesia.

In this experiment, the “Sound & Color” team will film a cinematic scene of Sarah walking through a studio against a black backdrop, while sounds and songs trigger her synesthesia in interesting ways. We will then film Sarah working with an animator to bring her synesthetic experience to life, infusing the otherwise colorless scene with vibrant, 3D animations. Incorporating Sarah’s painting process into the film itself is crucial to driving home the difficulty of representing another person’s mind.

At its core, Sound & Color is a highly personal, visually striking journey into the true meaning of individual experience. By following Kraning, we will immerse ourselves into one person’s subjectivity and create something beautiful along the way.
