The story is about a circus performer struggling to find meaning after she is forced to abandon her dreams and take a job as a bartender. Set in the city of New Orleans, this fantasy drama will test one's belief about what their true purpose is. The long term goal is to take the short film to the festival circuit and seek additional funding for a full length TV series.
Darielle will be doing all the performances and stunts in this film. In addition to their incredible lead, Lauren and her producer Maggie Brown will bring together a talented array of racially diverse actors and musicians to showcase the spirit of New Orleans.
The time for unique tales to be told by underrepresented writers and creatives is NOW! "Estranged Behaviour" is on the forefront of this new cinematic shift.
