AS ABOVE
As Above
** Fashion Film Currently On Festival Tour **
When your Earth Plane feels a strong sense of pull, setting in motion an enigmatic chase through a maze of dimensional time sparking an orgasm into enlightenment.
Loosely based on the 2nd Law of the Universe; The Principle of Correspondence, “As Above” tells the story of The Earth Plane returning home, to find herself intuitively drawn to a presence she can’t ignore. Alone, The Earth Plane follows her instincts through a twisty windy hallway looking to connect an alluring call to her.
