Inspired by the woman her fiancé fell in love with, AVA, a cautious painter (Britt Lower) joins a local circus in an act of wild abandon. As she wrestles with grief and envy, Ava finds herself writing a cinematic letter to the ‘other woman’, LUNA (Jess Marks). Fusing live-action circus arts and animated body-paint, Circus Person alchemizes heartache and brings joy to healing.
