Series
Episodic storylines. Complex characters.
This film intentionally sparks conversation around individuals’ relationships to violence. The short provides a unique angle on violence within a specific group of characters. While race and gender are easily identifiable, other key labels such as sexual orientation and socio-economic status of these individuals are not clear in the first short. Lines are crossed — some identifiable, others to be explored in future narratives with these characters.
(9:26mins, premiered October 2016)
