-
We began in a room.
A conversation.
A shared weight.
What stayed was the feeling.
A mutual resistance.
Afterimage is an artistic response to what is happening in the United States around immigration enforcement and the cyclical fear, loss, and instability many people are experiencing.
What emerged was a focus on collective kinetic action, where shared energy and body heat shape the environment as a form of resistance.
-
This film was made through the care, insight, and artistry of every collaborator involved. From concept and movement to cinematography, lighting, and editing, Afterimage emerged through a deeply interwoven process.
We’re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to bringing this film into being. THANK YOU for your courage and trust!!
