Private Project

POPCORN

The grind-house girls invite you to join a sweet and sticky sleep-over before dunking you into a milk bath from hell.

Indulgence rears its ugly head, seemingly so innocent at first flirt, then morphing into a vortex of consumerist gluttony.

The film is an improvisational experiment of loosening the reins on desire and restraint. The concept was born from a youthful fever dream of excessive play. How far can we let ourselves be consumed by bottomless desire before it destroys us?

All scenes were shot in one day with no rehearsals.

Director Biography - ROSS SILCOCKS, KEKE SOL

Ross Silcocks
As the metaverse looms and we sink into the digital, Ross uses his visuals to reinforce the bridge between the natural world and the human world. His exploration helps translate the divine connection we have to our earth and how we can harness her gifts to heal. His specific interest is the patterns and repetitions that exist in nature that are mirrored in human creations, the complexity, and fragility of our relationships with one another and with the world that surrounds us.

Kėkė Søl
Trans-disciplinary sound/movement/visual artist (composer, producer and performer), poet and sensory artist. Kėkė’s research is inspired by a desire to find the crossroads between movement and sound, color and texture, contemplation and sensory meditation. The common thread that she draws between her dance, visual art, music and poetic explorations is improvisation, which is the key for unlocking present, authentic self-expression and engaging in a self-actualizing creative process. Bringing pleasure into question feeds her desire to understand what it means to be human in her artistry.
