How to Breathe

(COMING SOON)

Short film, 10 minutes

A young woman, Manny, finds purpose and career mobility when she is visited by a non-human, non-binary eternal being, Abla, who she starts channeling to create world-changing YouTube videos and best selling books.

Synopsis:

Manny and Stefanie are engaged in partners yoga when Abla, an acended master with a Millenial speech-affect, appears in front of them. Abla needs Stefanie to channel them, but Stefanie refuses. Manny agrees to take up the position.

Years later, Manny has written a book under Abla’s name and appears on a CNN talk show with Joe. After some awkwardness, Manny channels Abla for the audience and encourages Joe to read some of her book during the interview. Manny as Abla then guides Joe through a spiritual awakening live on camera.
