Where Burdens Bloom is a lyrically experimental narrative short film that follows Dimah Howard, a young Black ballerina, as she grapples with grief and identity on the anniversary of her father’s death.
After receiving a scholarship to attend a prestigious dance academy, Dimah moves to New York City to pursue her dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. When her father passes away suddenly, her inability to cope sends her into a downward spiral. As she struggles to balance the pressures of her craft with the weight of her loss, Dimah faces a pivotal choice: stay in the city to complete her dance education, or return home to heal and reconnect with her roots.
Starring Nevaeh Green as "Dimah."
