Pink Violet

Written and Directed by Keziah Anderson. Executive Producer, Maya Salganek.

Pink Violet is a short film produced by the students of FLPA 271/431/498/499 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fall 2019. The film follows Dana, a theater-obsessed college student who goes to extreme lengths to get into the mind of her character. Her commitment scares her father, Jeffrey, and her friend, Jody, into believing that she is suicidal, pushing them to try to save her from herself.

Dana (Isabelle Nygren) tries to get her bearings in a dimly lit bathroom. UAF still from Pink Violet.
