VPAA Productions presents an original short film by Kasey Viani

ON MARCH 13TH, 2020 THE PERFORMING ARTS WORLD EXPERIENCED AN UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT IN HISTORY … THEATERS AND STUDIOS SYSTEMATICALLY SHUT DOWN LEAVING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK WITH NO MEANS TO BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR RENT, BUY FOOD OR SURVIVE.

A PAIR OF SISTERS- WHO SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES DANCING- WATCHED THEIR WORLD GET STRIPPED AWAY IN THE MATTER OF MINUTES- LEAVING THEM WITH NOTHING BUT A NEW FOUND SENSE OF ISOLATION AND DEPRESSION.

IT SEEMS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS COMPLETELY OVERLOOK THE SPIKES IN DEPRESSION, SUICIDES, AND SELF HARM CASES AMONG THE PERFORMING ARTS COMMUNITY.

AFTER BEING PUSHED TO THE POINT OF A MENTAL BREAK DOWN,  THESE SISTERS FIND THEMSELVES CLINGING TO EACH OTHER FOR SURVIVAL.
