Art Beats Festival

Platform (2023)

Through a conversation that happens in Jess’s (Megan Malcolm) mind, she communicates with an ex-lover, Alfie (Ben Branton). Jess reminisces parts of their relationships and goes through a surrealist journey of self-rediscovery and healing. However, her perception of Alfie begins to fade away in her mind, both audibly and visibly.
