DIRECTED + CAMERA + EDITED: Elizabeth Paige Smith

Girl + Moto explores the topic of predator vs prey. Filmed + edited as multi-channel installation, each screen shares an intimate point of view of the characters. The motorcycle dauntingly appears, intimidating, loud and leering. In contrast, the young girl, Melisa, wanders the quiet, rural island road, vulnerable and exposed, she checks her surrounding constantly. Using abstract shots of the landscape, EPS fills you with an unease and anxiety of the situation. All too familiar for many young women.
