SLOW DOWN TIME

Slow Down Time is a docu-short that polaroids the lives of seven individual dancers in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Following strict social distancing guidelines and filmed by a three person quarantine-crew, the film captures the artists’ reactions and experiences when forced to stop and slow down time.
