Burlesque dancer Jade dons her best dance outfit and shimmies up a storm on stage. Her sensual movements invoke a mood of pure, confident sexuality. Her performance invites the viewer to imagine Jade nude, alone in her room with her own desire…

Filmed in Toronto, this short merges the suggestive sensuality of burlesque with the more concrete sexuality of female masturbation.

Official selection, East Bay Express Briefs, San Francisco, February 2015
