CGiii Comment

Malibu Soda, a college thesis film, presents a story about a gay young man, Taylor, who struggles to find beauty in himself. He distracts himself from acknowledging his body by mimicking personalities and people he deems "perfect". One person in particular who draws his attention is a pop star, REVE. While her life and persona appear truthful, fascinating, and superior on the screen, the public is just watching fabricated and manufactured moments created by the powers above.
