This paper discusses the theory and inspiration behind producing, directing and editing a film adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear entitled Nothing From Nothing (2024/2025). The goal is to highlight the aesthetic value of nothing by exposing nothing’s miraculous ability and power to create itself out of itself, and to inspire autonomous creativity in others.
