Selected project: "All Is in Order"

A low-income family fraught by their collective identity and fractured by grief, each sporadically resides in a remote luxurious boutique hotel at the mesmeric behest of its exotic heiress, who suffers from a feigned sense of generosity. When the stay incrementally cascades into covert chaos, her nobility towards them quickly darkens, leaving her with only a messianic complex to latch onto, thereby conjuring supernatural forces surrounding the hotel to realign the imbalance among them.
