Metaphoric consideration of running a marathon you can’t afford to lose.
Synopsis
The companion film to its breakout counterpart BLACK BODIES, this stunning short provokes (metaphoric) consideration of running a marathon you can’t afford to lose. After dealing with a high-profile incident of racial bias in California this past year Kelly Fyffe-Marshall was compelled to turn to art for healing as a way to work through the trauma.
Through this process MARATHON was born, allegorically taking the the viewer on a journey of a black man through history — asking the question, what is it like to be Black in 2018? Teaming back up with cinematographer Jordan Oram (GOD'S PLAN, IN MY FEELINGS) the duo sought out to create a piece that was visually captivating, emotive, and honoured the endurance and power of people of colour to persevere.
