Erica Scoggins, Two Went In, 2018

Two Went In is an experimental narrative film that follows two young friends as they leave the safety of their homes in search of a fabled cave. Drawing on the metaphorical connotations of the cave and the myth of the changeling, Two Went In symbolizes the trauma of puberty, sexual initiation, and the often unexplainable violence in this world. The local landscape becomes a portal from the familiar human-built space to the mysterious and sacred darkness within the earth.
