Short film directed by Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby. Screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011. Funny, touching and ambitious in scope and dealing with addiction, spirituality, identity, relationship dynamics and the ongoing quest for joy. 'Self-esteem as a construct is illogical and contradictory, so its frequent deployment as the lynch-pin of New Age discourse seems to me satisfyingly appropriate. I don't trust anyone who doesn't have frequent bouts of self-loathing. There is something truly monstrous about the self-righteous...' (Steve Reinke)
