Chasing June
Chasing June is an art-forward film that utilizes realism to capture Midwestern malaise and magical realism, surrealism, and dance to dip into our psyche and show the real within us. A somber and contemplative story, Chasing June is inherently character driven. It pulls poetic language into the dialogue to dive deeper into the emotional arc and pick at layers of complexity within the story. It explores themes of repressed grief, hereditary cancer, and young adults’ relationships with their parents.
