Breton Tyner-Bryan's Sensual Dance Short DELUSIONE To Screen At Dances With Films 2022 Festival

Multi-award winning director/actor/writer/choreographer Breton Tyner-Bryan will present the Los Angeles premiere of her short film "Delusione" at the 25th Annual Dances With Films Festival, June 9-19, 2022.

Starring Breton Tyner-Bryan (Winner World London IFF, Madrid IFF, Barcelona IFF) and Emily Ulrich (Other World), "Delusione" has been on the festival circuit at Paris International Short Festival, New York International Women Festival, Bucharest Film Awards, Big Apple AGENTS AND MANAGERS Lab, ASVOFF14 Paris, and La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival.

Described as "an examination of dissociation, as a means for survival and manipulation," the passionate and nuanced film follows the dancers as they explore an empty vintage hotel filled with memories that probe the depths of their shared past, creating a mirage of illusion. The film is an ethereal exploration of two characters entering and exiting one another's lives.

"Delusione" has screened on the festival circuit including the French Riviera Film Festival May 2022, Stockholm Short Film Festival February 2022, Paris Short Film Festival December 2021, Bucharest Film Awards December 2021, New York International Women's Film Festival December 2021, ASVO Film Festival Paris November 2021, Big Apple Film Festival Agents and Managers Lab November 2021.

Additionally, Tyner-Bryan has two other films on the festival circuit this year: INVICTA premiering at La Jolla IFF (nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Fashion Dance, Best Score, Best Cast Ensemble) that will compete at Tokyo Shorts this month, and TIMELESS LOVE that won 22 awards at Vegas Movie Awards including Best Director and Best Editor.

"Delusione" features music by Faye Chiao (Houston Grand Opera, Boston Chamber Symphony, Pittsburgh Festival Opera), editing by Breton Tyner-Bryan and Emily Ulrich, cinematography by Michael J. Burke (The Gilded Age, And Just Like That), and costumes by Breton Tyner-Bryan (Netflix MOST LGBTQ Channel).
