Shana Uzali lives in a state of constant turmoil and instability, but she refuses to move. In a fantastical world she has created, Shana is visited by a number of characters, each one attempting to budge her from a place of indecision and fear. As these characters appear and reappear, questions of good and evil, hope and despair, faith and disbelief circle around Shana’s mind. Will Shana find the answers she desperately needs? Will she be persuaded to action?Shana Unsettled is co-directed by Jim Knipple and Janel Miley.
