TURNING A NEW LEAF, 2min., USA
Directed by Isabelle Alison Hibbard
Hazel and Willow, two teenage theater club members, exit from backstage after a rehearsal. Willow is upset by her role, and Hazel argues that no, being a tree and chorus member is the best. Hazel breaks into song, and the girls enter a magical abstract world filled with helpful leaf friends. The girls sing and dance through different scenes, and eventually, Willow comes to the realization that it’s not about being in the spotlight, it’s about being part of a team creating a show together. They exit the magical leaf land and finish the song, ready to take on any role.
