Amara:The Statue

Directed by Sophia Carter

Amara (Maureen Ruby Jackson) has spent a hundred years standing perfectly still in the center of the City Museum. To the tourists, she is just a beautiful statue—but when the clock strikes twelve, she breathes. Amara is a girl of gold and magic who can only stay "awake" as long as there is music playing. As she explores the quiet halls of the museum, she meets other pieces of history that come to life, but she longs to see the stars outside. Featuring magical, orchestral-pop songs and a "frozen-in-time" dance style, Amara is a sparkling adventure about freedom and finding your voice in a world that expects you to stay silent.
