PERSPECTIVE

DANCING LIGHT FILMS' very first film as Producer-Writer-Actor; PERSPECTIVE is about repressed sexual trauma. 
The idea for the script came from a short play reading I was in written by Duncan Pflaster.
With his permission I adapted it into a screenplay and here I am with my first film. 

I felt this was an important avenue to explore; repressed trauma. 
The National conversation about sexual assault has begun and women and men are tearing down walls and breaking the silence. 
But how many people have experienced an assault that has caused them to black out the experience?
This film explores the daily subconscious effects of this type of trauma.
