Color

dreams have a ceiling

This queer dramatic short film is is post-production!

Andy struggles with depression, the impacts of which have gotten more severe over the last few months. Their partner Leo and their close friends are concerned, and Andy is too...kind of. Andy has started having incredibly amazing dreams full of life, color and connection. But the more vivid Andy’s dreams become, the more dull their real life feels. And when their dreams start showing signs of a ceiling, the panic sets in.

Queer stories are rarely told, and when they are, they’re often tragic. While this film deals with some heavy themes of mental health and life under capitalism, it centers queer joy, creativity and connection. We hope you’ll see yourself reflected in the beautiful characters and settings, and find the resolve to help us all build a better future.

Our shoot was amazing, and we got everything we needed while having a great time doing it. The dream sequences in particular were full of joy and improvisation, and the characters really came alive! Please enjoy some of the wonderful BTS photos from Jessy Parr as well as some ungraded screenshots from DP Cody Walters! We’re excited to be working with editor and VFX artist Matt Esteron, and with the musical talents of Drea Castillo and Bjorn Watkins for music.

Stay tuned for more updates and the eventual release of “Color!”
