Day Is Done

Day Is Done is a genre-smashing opus featuring a variety of characters including vampires, goths, hillbillies, mimes, and demons. The film unfolds over two-and-a-half hours as a series of episodes, creating a loose narrative structure that challenges traditional storytelling.

The film is part of Kelley's larger project, Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstructions, which examines trauma, abuse, and repressed memory through the lens of personal and mass-cultural experiences. It utilizes high school yearbook photographs as source material, focusing on what Kelley describes as socially accepted rituals of deviance. This innovative approach to filmmaking makes Day Is Done a distinctive piece in the realm of experimental cinema.
