STAINED GLASS is composed of two provocative short films with self-perception as a central theme.

FRACTURES follows a young woman confronting her paralyzing struggle with body image.

NUDIS ANIMIS finds several strangers fighting against their own reflections, forcing them to experience an embodiment of their truths.
