Innocence and vulnerability are represented in this short film in one character who is cared for by a stronger, dominating yet maternal other character.

Due to the nature of their relationship; a dependency is created which is shown by physical attachments, interconnectedness and weight sharing.

The film then explores two different scenarios. Once the codependency is created, both characters become vulnerable yet strong and work together to create something beautiful. The direction changes however when the stronger character abuses their power. The result is destruction, violence and self abuse.

We’ve also used this short as an opportunity to introduce audiences to parts of dancers that they don’t normally get an opportunity to see in a live performance. By moving the camera close to the dancers the the audience can see the dancer as human rather than a disconnected visual object. We’ve done this by showing the small details such as blinking, pulses, breathing, reaction and smaller body parts such as the spinal chord, neck, collar bone, ribs and wrists.

Starring: Caitlin Griffin, Danielle Gardner & Monique Constant

Mars to Jupiter is both the name of our most recent short film and the name of the song in the video. The song was created by a brilliant musician out of Tokyo, Japan named coppe’ : mango + sweet rice and the song is entitled “Mars to Jupiter”. You can also check out her MySpace page here. The song is significant becuase our short film is about the integration of a Rwandan genocide survivor into North American society. We explore her struggles, her judgments and her cynicism. You can see some teaser footage for the film below staring Zara Durrani and Mireille Urumuri.
