A funny and quirky take on race, starring Cosmosquaw as the Red Queen, Shawna Dempsey as the White Queen, and Thirza Cuthand as Alice.
Anhedonia: Anhedonia doesn't play to the back of the church. It shoots directly to the point with poetry and images that evoke controversy in one mind set and passion in another. Depression and suicide are met head on with Cuthand's honesty. Anhedonia shocks people into opening their eyes to the source of the illness in the aboriginal community. Statistics, split images, words and flesh meld together making this short film long on compassion, screaming out to help and recognition of the mentally ill's dream of someday having a normal life.
