Description
Juno Park is a poet, a creature of quiet observation who finds solace in being unseen. But when the director of "Ashes of Empire" puts her in a specific spot for a scene involving candles, her anonymity is shattered. She finds herself standing next to the lead actor, suddenly visible and a part of the "Hollywood mythology" she so carefully avoided. The Candle Scene follows Juno's journey from invisibility to the paralyzing fear of intimacy. It explores the emotional weight of being chosen and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected-and terrifying-moments of connection.
