Synopsis

The fitness trainer’s control over perfect bodies surrounding him stirs up his ever-growing desire. Heavy weights and loud music hide a slowly burning chaos. Is his established order coming to an end?

About Project

This is the first narrative film produced by my company, Ardent Films. It came to life with a little help from my friends — the people I’ve worked with on many projects before, from fellow filmmakers to rental houses. On this one, I wore many hats and learned a lot along the way.
