Veils Curates : Destiny and Blow Up Friends by Marnie Weber
Purple TV and Veils presents the online exclusive of Marnie Weber’s film Destiny and Blow Up Friends. Filmed at the Salton Sea, which is a large dying, polluted salt lake in California. Destiny is a sailor who finds herself without a boat in a dry wasteland. She sets out on a journey through the surreal landscape while blow-up animals follow and cling to her as she bravely shoulders the responsibility of being their caretaker. Tragically the blow-up animals mysteriously deflate and “Destiny” takes them on their final journey to the sea in a boat called Fate.
