G 2026 · 18 min · ★ 10.0 · Drama, Animation, Family

'Psalms & Lamentations' is a short film depicting the depth of pain and grief that we so often find in life caused by the struggle of sin, along with, how that relates to our walk with God. This VRChat Short Film is heavily inspired by filmmaker Terrence Malick and loosely inspired by Marcus's testimony and a children's book called "Home Is Right Where You Are" by Ruth Chou Simons. Much of the script is derived from the books, Psalms, Lamentations, Job, Jonah, and other books of the Bible. It is unlike most films in that it exists to relate to the pain and not to the joy in our lives. This provides a very unique viewing experience. Some people find this film extremely deep and moving while others can see the depth but don't feel it as much. Much of how deep it is for someone is heavily determined by what someone's self-talk sounds like.
