The Story
Estrella Emergence is a movement-based short film, transitioning from the darkness of the worldwide pandemic to the light & celebration that awaits humanity. Estrella, the Spanish origin meaning star, is a metaphor for the light that is in each human being. We explore the sensations of being tethered to a location with the burdens of everyday life and the transformation of becoming a warrior of the light. How can we move through the pain of last year to find the wisdom & strength to move forward? How can we trust that joy & freedom can enter our lives again?
