The Priestess Walks Alone is a journey, our journey. As a priestess, through chants and prayers during the "Soul Guiding" ceremony, my mom helps the dead achieve salvation, but she is bound to her painful past, unable to free herself. As a filmmaker, using images and sounds that unfold on the screen, I tell stories for the voiceless, yet I'm muted by a shameful secret, afraid to reveal the truth. In different mediums, caught between the living and the dead, as the past and present collide, my mom and I embark on a journey, attempting to find our salvation.
