“LOVE”
A SHORT FILM
WRITTEN, DIRECTED & PRODUCED BY ANDREA ASHTON
In this narrative art film bringing a modern poem to life, a series of touching vignettes show two women falling in and out of love -- but not in any traditional way you've seen before. Their story is told in reverse chronology and was physically performed in reverse, as well, although then flipped "forward" in the edit so their movement feels slightly "off," kind of like how love can make you feel.
