CGiii Comment

The whimsical short follows a contortionist and a stilt walker going about their everyday lives, and serves as a reminder to never be afraid to let what you do be an expression of who you are. TALK TO ME alternates between two separate narratives and manifests the challenges facing two introverts as they try to find balance and harmony in interacting with the outside world. The short chronicles 36 hours of their struggle to engage in society while trying to keep their sense of self, intact.

Drawing from the dance film genre, this short film's narrative flows between storytelling and acrobatic performance, teetering on the line where narrative structure and circus performance meet. By the film's end, the quirky protagonists discover their center despite the flux of everything being off-kilter around them.
