Merida
A travel center cafeteria in the small Icelandic town of Vik is packed with tourists stranded by a winter storm. Merida looks for the owner of a GoPro she and her friends found on a glacier near Jökulsárlón. And then... there’s Parker, looking just as intimidatingly cool as they did in their GoPro videos. Brandon and Trey force Merida to go talk with the person she wouldn’t shut up about in the car. But Parker initially seems aloof and uninterested. Parker’s and Merida’s story explores themes of isolation and community, bravery and fear, and how we can seem so different on the outside from how we feel on the inside.
