Trapezius

I really enjoyed to work with all these wonderful people on this wonderful film. I hope you'll enjoy watching the trailer!

“It isn’t much fun for one, but two can stick together”


Over 20 muscle groups control the movement of the upper body and shoulders.


Two dusty white figures turn and twist in the narrow, black, dark wilderness of the film-frame. They flex their muscles and show off their skills. Hesitant at first, they finally come together. They echo and tease each other, exploring the space between them until they become entwined as one. They come alive together, but it can’t last. They argue, they fight and their relationship collapses into chaos.
