torture porn adjacentDIY horror energyedgy student film

Overview

Horror

Her name is Frankie. She's 20, a student. She's adopted. She was taken from her family because of physical abuse. It left her scarred physically and mentally. She's finding expression in art. She's just a young girl who is self filming her art degree based on the physical form. Nothing fulfills her. She fails to reach her artistic desires. Her past has forged her creative state of mind. And so she pushes the boundaries. How far is too far to achieve artistic perfection?
