“Joy” is an innovative short film that permeates conventional definition of artistic genres to lead the viewer to find answers for the fundamental questions of human condition, such as what is love, what is freedom, and what is art. “Joy” does not give the viewers a catechesis-like synapse to define these notions, but rather strives to start and mediate a conversation that would lead the viewers to search for and find their own answers. The story plot of the film is inspired by a Seattle-based artist/curator Ramona Lee’s series “Western Ho”. “Joy” is filmed on location in the beautiful natural scenery of Lee’s native Montana, where wide open spaces provide the perfect backdrop for sequestering of a human in search of answer’s to the life’s most pertinent questions.
