HWLS "005" (Braden Lee, dir.)

Tokyo is this futuristic-dystopian metropolis rich in tradition and modernism. My goal was to merge these two themes. Throughout the story we follow two contemporary dancers to the famous Shibuya 5-way crossing. We also observe a mysterious masked figure. This ominous mask comes from a theatrical drama called "Noh" which the Japanese have been practicing since the 14th century. The actual mask you see here is over 400 yrs old and represents an angel - passed down through generations.
