Experiencing Interruptions?

What If It's Poison

A social-media professional dives deep into her own subconscious-self when her lover leaves unexpectedly.

Aiden's self-reflective journey emerges though an experimental montage incorporating flashbacks, dance sequences, and surreal dreamscapes. She discovers that in an age of social media and omnipresent screens it's hard to be genuine and present.
