YOU LOOK GOOD IN BLUE

After a year of development, preproduction is in full swing on "You Look Good In Blue",  My thesis film produced by Andrew Slootsky & Hannah Rose Ammon. The film follows Danny (played by Juan Manuel Salcito) as he supports his best friend Kara (Madeline Weinstein) through a break up, which ignites their already complicated relationship. Danny navigates his identity through a day consumed by lust, longing and lots of disco. *It's a short film inferno*
