I love how this short film “West” captures movement, culture, and creativity in such a unique way it really makes me curious to see it! Even though I’m not at the festival, this post reminds me how meaningful storytelling can be, whether through dance on film or something fun like watching people style a Marty Supreme Jacket. Thanks for sharing!
