FILM ABSTRACT
Primer invites a shift in perspective. Where hybrid nomads evolve within islands of contemporary meaning and wonder, creating a fabulous surface inscribed by sensorial dreams and divinities. A newly formulated space for human encounter that may never occur, yet bearing the potential of a new unrestrained sphere of compassion and empathy, where diversity is a condition of truth.
