WRITERS NOTES

Far Far Away acts as a thematic sequel to Hugo’s Rule.  While Hugo’s Rule explores emotional paralysis and the dangers of inaction, Far Far Away focuses on grief and the nature of memory itself.

The story explores how people emotionally reconstruct those they have lost , clinging to different versions of the same person. Far Far Away views grief as a reinterpretation rather than sadness. The reorganisation of memory, finding meaning within it while trying to gain emotional control over it.

Tonally, the story is reflective, intimate and melancholic, using recollections and conversations to blur the line between memory and emotional truth. At its core, Far Far Away is less interested in providing answers but more interested in the emotional acceptance that some memories may never fully be resolved.
