The Red Dancer by Beth Buxton

In a small town a nymph like creature has been hiding in the shadows observing the locals in a state of modern alienation. The film opens in B&W with scenes of the locals in apparent disconnect, is The Red Dancer here to help?
As day turns to night colour fills the screen and we catch glimpses of our elusive protagonist dancing and leaving red ribbons around the town. As more ribbons are left, the townsfolk grow curious and intrigue begins to build…..
