LUMA is an intimate, silent experimental film that captures a woman's journey towards resurrection and renewal. Egyptian symbolism and ritual history illuminate a foundation for Luma to explore her capability of personal independence and self-fulfillment.

Instead of looking in towards herself, Luma's been waiting for someone or something to fill a void. When her lover abandons her underwater she's left alone and confused, anxiously waiting for someone to save her from her loneliness and boredom. What she doesn't know is that that someone or something is more attainable than she's ever imagined.

Luma is an eccentric woman and lucid dreamer. Having difficulty with separating reality from fantasy, she's hard to grasp but the kind of person that you can't take your mind, or eyes, off of. She's got that something mysterious about her that's endearing and ultimately, insanely attractive. Luma is interested in life's vast possibilities. This makes her an avid observer and risk taker, constantly watching what comes her way so that she doesn't miss something wonderful.

If you're an admirer of filmmakers such as Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger and David Lynch then you will appreciate the imagery and mood we're creating with this dreamy short. A mild fascination with Ancient Egyptian mythology and ceremonial history has shaped the mood, artistic direction and movement of Luma's renewal.
