RUNAROUND is a narrative short that explores the sexual maturation of Jay (age 15), a promiscuous, small town American girl, and her 2 best friends, Jean-Marie and Kim as they spend the summer pursuing a golden tan and the opposite sex. Interpreting adolescent thought and emotion through a poetic stream of images and sounds, RUNAROUND balances between reality and the abstract; visually investigating the relationship between the world we see and the world Jay sees.
