The Dark, Krystle
10 min / SD / 2013
The cabin is on fire! Krystle can't stop crying, Alexis won't stop drinking, and the fabric of existence hangs in the balance, again and again and again.
“The Dark, Krystle" repurposes the artificiality of stock gesture, underscoring its hollowness whilst recharging it with new emotional power. The film rekindles the unfinished business of identity, gender, consumption, and excess in 1980’s America via the hugely popular soap opera, “Dynasty”.
