Renowned director Bianca Poletti, whose poem Unfiltered reflecting on her last short FaceTweak was published on Short Stuff in June last year, has released her latest proof of concept short, LU. It was written by and stars Nikki Lorenzo and John Hawkes, who both also created original music for the film.

A little glimpse into a story

about identity, heartbreak, and music —

about the selves we lose,the ones we become,

and the ones still waiting for us

somewhere between memory and a dream <3

– Bianca Poletti
