Took a long walk one day. On this walk I came across truth and understanding. I met a shaman on my journey who gave me directions, when I turned back to thank them, they were gone.

“ELECTRIC WOMAN”
A short story about anxiety, trust, and acceptance.
Written as a recount of my own personal experiences/dilemmas in dealing with love. What does performance look like in a place where you’re already accepted?
This is the most vulnerable and literal I’ve been with my work thus far, and appreciate the care and understanding with which my team and talent had when creating this. Thank you.
This film caused me to confront my self in totality; thoughts of shame, guilt, and my lack of understanding skewed my perception. We shot this almost a year ago but at the time I felt that it wasn’t ready, or maybe I wasn’t. Thinking on it now, maybe I needed to catch up to the work.
Big shout out to my goat @she.yawn thank you for everything. Couldn’t have done this without you.

This project came from the desire to push my abilities forward, I intended to do the hardest thing I could think of to really challenge myself.
