Lucid Synopsis
A look into mental health: You cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside yourself. The only thing we hold, as an explanation, is our art.

Director’s Statement
Lucid is a story about a young woman faced with anxiety and depression, who is able to let go and come to peace through the art of dance. I created this film with the intention of creating a platform where viewers could create their own connection and meaning. At the end of the first private screening, many approached me saying that they were victims of sexual assault and that’s what they felt the film was about. Others saw it as a message about woman confidence and empowerment. Whatever it means to you, I hope it brings you peace.
