Concept - Red swims to keep herself from going under, then dives into a red-lit rave, in a numbing ritual.
Blue vents heartbreak through capoeira, but a head kick drops him into a moonlit forest vision where he chases the unreachable Sepia.
Sepia boards a night train, as her mind dances through sepia fields and her final moments with Blue. Falling Forward, Slightly is a monochromatic experimental short showing how three bodies intertwine and break apart, but keep moving forward.
