Exploring love in all its forms, this short film set contemplates human desire from the highs of infatuation to the depths of loss. Is it worthwhile to be "in love" with romantic love (Luv, Me)? Can technology aid one's search for love (Talk to Me)? How do we navigate the loss of our romantic partners (Breakdown and Mabel) and the tribulations of family (My Mother’s Daughter and Thunderclouds)? Most importantly, what can we do to find joy in our relationships with ourselves, others, and our communities (Granny Boot Camp)? This set reflects on what it means to love oneself and others – in full realization of love's power and its constantly changing nature.
Breakdown is a meditation of what is means to have a love lost. There are things that we would like to forget and there are people we would love to remember, but often life and memories do not work as such. Sometimes, it’s better to forget in order to move forward. Until we learn to let go, remembrance becomes a cycle we repeat, time and again until we’re ready to bloom anew from the love we once knew.
