About this Video

The myth of Narcissus has always been one of my favorites. It struck me, deep in my gut, how torturous the longing and yearning must have been for him. I wanted to depict this agonizing and heart wrenching feeling in the best way I new how. With the help of my dear friend Quinn, we loosely choreographed phrases of movement to instrumental music and I then used those images as inspiration when I was writing the script. Everything naturally unfold from then into the experimental dance film that it is today. Being my first short, "Narcissus" very special to me.
