Stuck anywhere but here is a garduation film by Femke Hemelaar, where I helped as an assistant set builder.

Logline:

Living on a circus fairground, Juliette has to obtain the attention of her parents in order to save them from drowning in their past and future, while trying to stay mindful herself to perform the perfect trick. If she manages to perform this trick, she might win her parents attention, if not, it could lead to a fatal end.

Synopsis:

The story follows Juliette, a 20-year-old acrobat with big dreams and ambitions. Like many of us, she’s determined to make her goals a reality, pushing herself to the limit. Within all her powers, she is striving to achieve these things, but the relentless drive to meet these goals wears her down. She is being challenged by her mind and her surroundings.
Her father, Charlie, is a nostalgic poet who is trapped in the past and weighed down by a melancholy he can’t escape. Her mother, Marilou, is a fortune teller who is imprisoned by the future. This causes her to live in constant fear of what is next. Both Juliette’s parents and she herself, are not present and connected with themselves, they are Stuck Anywhere but Here.
