THE SALAMANDER FAIRY PRINCESS is a 20-minute coming-of-age film that follows Scout as she encounters and navigates grief for the first time with her biker-chick neighbor and teenage babysitter. Speaking with a 5-year-old, 15-year-old, and 25-year-old versions of myself, we dance with the surreal and talk to our past, present, and future selves. Feel with me.
