Serpentine Pink is a neo-noir thriller with eclectic characters that explores how we can confront and heal from deep-rooted emotional trauma.In the wild west of California’s Joshua Tree desert, a solitary biker woman and her dancer lover have to find a way to heal from the wounds of their violent, visceral passion after a brutal night brings to surface their past traumas. They seek help from an ethereal psychic and her aspiring healer companion, and they converge with supernatural forces to confront and then heal the women’s deep-rooted personal pain, long-plagued by the toxicity of possessive love.

The film captivates an audience through an unconventional cast and its unique, poetic tone. The film casts colorful aesthetics and on-set effects (e.g. projection mapping), intriguing sound design with immersive soundscapes, and quirky prop characters over its beautiful desert locations throughout Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley.
