On The Floor
Andro, a newly successful queer hip-hop artist, descends into a jumbled, drug-fueled reality that fuses together the past, present and future. Isolated in a treehouse within a mysterious bamboo forest, three visitors will guide Andro toward a new vision of identity. Driven by pulsating music and bold, non-linear storytelling, the 16-minute short film ON THE FLOOR explores the struggle to find a sense of self in a fractured world that is constantly in flux.

Corey is an independent filmmaker, based in Brooklyn, who believes in the power of power of personal, expressive storytelling to better understand one another and lift up the voices of those who aren’t often heard. A graduate of Virginia Tech’s film program, his character-focused work has a surrealist edge and tends to challenge genre expectations. In addition to writing and directing films, he produces TV promos for ABC.
