"A film created and produced by Kaylee Louie finds its catalyst over the course of isolation during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Being stuck in her home for the course of 2020, this film was the first time Kaylee has explored capturing movement, editing, and creating a sound score for a creative work. In this satirical film, the protagonist struggles from an unrestful crisis as they seek to find true relaxation in an ordinary day. The film is a sequence of mundane movements strung together to form a choreography of sorts. The actions of the protagonist play out like an overdramatic performance of a homely afternoon. "
