This Graveyard of Dreams tells a story of self-preservation, of strength, of overcoming, of rising up from the ashes. Kalina Suter brings her exceptional skills as a dance trapeze artist in collaboration with raw and emotional tones from musician The Bones of J.R. Jones to create a powerful performance in this short film. 
 
Running from something she is tied to, tangled in, stuck with, we see gradual untangling, a realisation of self, a building of strength which brings power and eventual freedom, no longer running, no longer stuck. 
 
This film tells a personal story of breaking away from an emotionally abusive situation. The journey of untangling the web of doubts, fears and limiting beliefs that linger long after. This is a story of finding a depth and power within. A story of self-reclamation. 
 
A moving performance captured by filmmaker Gabriel Stella brings a sense of hope as we see Kalina take charge of her destiny, rising to become her full and true self, powerful, strong.
