debut film...

This summer, Barefoot Theatre Company Ensemble Members, Anna Chlumsky, Francisco Solorzano, Lynn Cohen, Christopher Whalen with Barefoot Artistic Associate, Minna Taylor and Resident Playwright, Jason Furlani team up to begin shooting Barefoot Studio Pictures' debut film with the short, FLOATING SUNFLOWERS...

Sometimes life inspires art, and sometimes...art inspires life.

FLOATING SUNFLOWERS tells the story of June, a still-life painter (played by Anna Chlumsky), and Henry, a fiction author, who are caught in an emotional winter, which has left them lost and unable to tap into their creative spirit. When a simple twist of fate exposes them to the symbols of each other’s dilemma, though, sparks fly, and – without ever meeting – they inspire each other from that emotional winter, into a season of “hope.”
