Bravo!FACT Shorts by Discipline : Aerobia!

"Aerobia!" explores the absurd phenomenon of wanting to obtain physical and psychological perfection by emulating and parodying the notion of obtaining excellence through mass consumption. With a confluence of music, dance, choreography, and graphic elements, this short film satirises a cultural desire through the late-night infomercial aesthetic.
