Matthew Baione, a Staten Island attorney and poet, has channeled his grief over the 9/11 attacks into a haunting short film titled "8:48." Set to screen at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the film portrays a man's frantic rush to an event, only to confront unfathomable loss. With a powerful narrative that echoes the sentiments of countless victims’ families who lament not saying farewell, the film invites viewers to reflect on the broader themes of light and darkness stemming from tragedy, showcasing the emotional complexity surrounding such significant events.
"The number one thing people say if they lost someone in the attack - they all say the same thing: 'I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.'"
"Is she already gone? Is she supposed to represent something? Is that the dichotomy between the light and dark that came out of that day?"
