Lipstick Traces

Lipstick Traces: Limited Series in Production

An Art House Soap Opera

The Story

After her boyfriend, Arlo Tyler, tries selling her on the black market to pay off a drug deal, Jade Morrison strives to put her life on track amongst the challenges and provocation of the Lower Dark Side of New York City.

Set in a hyper-realistic version of the LES, thematically, Lipstick Traces deals with topics such as morality, existence, ethics, and Impertinence. Yet the grand theme here is nothing short of personal existentialism. In a world that has experienced a brush with death, one must find one's way independent of experience; does one live for today or plan for a tomorrow that may never come.
