BLUE JAYS
LOGLINE: A young boy discovers and actualizes an expressive energy within himself. Set in the lush forest of Atlanta, Sequoyah Murray embodies an ancient winged spirit calling on the boy (August Murray) to not be afraid to embrace his desire to dance, to be free.
The film offers an alternative to the brutal and dehumanizing imagery that we consume on an everyday basis, and provides a healing vision.
