Date: October 19 - October 28,

TITLE: Velle to Want
SYNOPSIS: Velle to Want is a realist narrative presented in a series of surreal visuals. Based on my own experiences, this film is meant to have an underlying message of hope in a dark place. The title Velle to Want, “Velle” meaning to will or wish, translates to Want to Want - a want to want to live.
