Directed by Dana Kippel | USA

After receiving a mysterious invitation, five women undertake a road trip into the “vortex” that is Sedona, a desert community in Arizona, to complete a ‘spiritual obstacle course’ that will help forge mindful new paths. But as they journey deeper into the psychedelic landscape and the line between the reality they know and the enlightenment they crave becomes blurred, dark and defining traumas are unleashed. And do the hooded entities that watch over them have the women’s best interests at heart, or their own sinister agendas…?

REFLECT is a mysterious, gripping and challenging independent vision that encapsulates the metaphysical beliefs of writer/director/star Dana Kippel, a potent new voice in speculative cinema making her feature filmmaking debut.
