I am Love
"I am Love" is a poetic short film that follows the story of Arthur (Dylan Soal), a lonely, New York musician, struggling to complete his composition. While searching for inspiration, Arthur exchanges intimate letters with a young artist named Luna (Ana Moioli, reprising her role from "Elsewhere-A Flor Azul") and he soon finds himself falling for her. But after following the sound of a beautiful cello melody coming from a neighboring apartment, he meets Theo (Isaac Nevrla). As he dives deeper into himself and navigates the two relationships, Arthur is taken by an ambiguous feeling and questions: is it possible to love more than one person at the same time?
