A Five Act Film By Sedric Acevedo
Between The Blue and Invisible Ultraviolet
My INVISIBLE ULTRAVIOLET // Emissions point
Ultraviolet light is invisible to the eye, but it changes whatever it passes through.
This film begins with my mother because she is the reason I’m still here.Her life was built on work, sacrifice, and love.She carried more than any one person should have had to carry.She gave until there was nothing left to give.We lived poor.
Not as a moment.
As a condition.She taught me endurance
before I knew what I was enduring.
She is gone now.But what she gave me remains.Invisible Ultraviolet Love.
Infrared
Infrared radiation measures residual heat.
Long after emission ends.
I was eleven.
I woke up in a puddle of my own urine and realized I was inside a body, inside a life already in motion.
Large parts of that time are missing.
Not erased —
I was somewhere between the blue and invisible ultraviolet.In this film, dissociation is not depicted as an event, but as an atmosphere.
This scene marks the point where awareness arrived
after something had already burned through me.I continued living from that day forward
present,
but stuck — not knowing what to do.
All I had was her ultraviolet light to shine a path forward.
The Faintest Glow
A faint light remains after collapse
I didn’t come back all at once.
There was no moment where everything made sense.
After she died,
things kept happening.
I was hit more than once.
More than im allowed to speak of.
I was still here.
That’s all I knew.
This film exists because I never found words for that time —
only images.
Oblivion // Supermassive black hole //
The spectrum we don't speak of
Every door led back to the same question.
Between the Blue and Invisible Ultraviolet is a feature-length film about memory, trauma, and how a life is shaped before it can be understood.The film follows me as I trace my past through damaged footage, silence, and the fragments that survived when everything else disappeared. It blends VHS home videos, modern footage, and reconstructed memories, because this is how memory actually behaves under prolonged stress and trauma — fragmented, distorted, incomplete.The title refers to a space between what can be seen and what cannot. Blue marks the edge of visibility. Ultraviolet exists beyond it — present and active, even when unseen. The film lives in that same space.At its core, this film is an act of preservation — of memory, of love, and of the light that existed even when protection did not. It doesn’t offer answers or resolutions. It simply shows what it looked like for me to confront my life honestly, without shortcuts.I am just the projector.If this film resonates with you and you’d like to help me continue making it, you can support directly here:Venmo: @sedricacevedo
