Pruning (post production)
Key Hair and Makeup Artist
"Pruning" is a short film co-created by Anto Astudillo and Kelley Van Dilla. As we deepen our friendship, we've discovered wonderful synchronicities in our lived experiences as trans and queer filmmakers, and we decided we wanted to create something together!
The film follows Polo in their day-to-day life while they navigate medically transitioning, looking for work, and living alone in a lonely city. Though they find caring for plants easier than caring for themselves, an elder wise woman, Tia Silvia, constantly checks in on them and helps them on their journey.
Every night Polo has the same dream: that they're slowly turning into a being made of plants.
