SHORT FILM: FIONA
SHORT FILM: FIONA
For most of her life, Fiona was a pre-professional violinist training to become a soloist.
After experiencing a great loss, she grapples with what it means for her that she no longer plays – hasn’t even touched her violin in months.
Amidst the identity crisis that ensues, Fiona finds new meaning in music, friendship, and her interpretation of joy.

THE WORK
This short film is the result of over 300 hours of work, and there are many more to go. It's rare that artists are paid a true reflection of their skillset. Even with your help, my collaborators are worth a lot more than what we can get them. I am blessed with the incredible generosity of every single person on the team of Fiona, and with the support of my community, I hope to create the absolute best version of this story that we possibly can. Thank you so much for reading.
