Looking Glass is a narrative short film that illustrates how invisibility is often intimate, personal, and impactful to mental health. Blending elements of dance and Afro-inspired rhythms, this journey to self-love invites the audience to examine the true cost of our inner-critics. Inspired by personal experiences and West-African trickster god Anansi, this film has been crafted with a mirror to our human experience. In Looking Glass, Anansi uses cunning creativity and wit to remind Asha of who is, and should be most important to her - herself.
