Shamanism, the subconscious, outsider mythology, sexuality, decay and transmutation, the donning and destruction of personae and the mysterious, almost dark power of femininity….Allison Schulnik‘s art resembles a jawbreaker in this film….as do her layers of meaning. Her animation manages to simultaneously recall interpretive dance, synchronized swimming and a pivotal scene in Macbeth. More beautiful, successful and experimental lighting from the ever talented DP Helder K. Sun. The music was composed alongside the film for it and performed live at it’s opening in New York, by L.A. Takedown’s Aaron Olson.
