GRAACE

You do you

Writer and director Michael Dole and The Daughters bring You Do You to life with GRAACE — a film about the addictive pull of another person. The push and the pull. The fight to keep some part of yourself, against the trust to let all of it go. The truth of yourself you can only see in the mirror someone else holds up.

This is the cycle of a relationship in motion. Who has the upper hand, and when. The power that passes back and forth between two people, and the parts of ourselves we hide to keep it. An addiction to another — or an addiction to seeing yourself in another.

We find GRAACE and Winnie in the bowl of a skate park — a pool of emotions, empty and full at once, reflecting and repeating like the relationship it holds. We follow them from afternoon light into night, skating toward each other, away from each other, across each other's lines — lit in shifting colour and washed in projected cloud, fire and water, the emotional weather of two people in orbit. Mirrors set through the bowl catch the sky and catch themselves; sometimes they look, sometimes they turn away. We watch them slip beneath the surface of a midnight pool, bodies half-seen — lost in a sea of emotion, and still circling each other inside it.

A film about the self we find in someone else, and the self we keep. You do you.
