OPEN

By Crystal Skillman

Sometimes, the most powerful magic is hope.

In Open, a woman called The Magician seems to pantomime a myriad of tricks, but her act reveals she is attempting the impossible—to save the life of her lover, Jenny. But is our faith in her illusions enough to rewrite the past? 

Open is a magic act that reveals itself to be a resurrection. The clock is ticking, the show must go on, and, as impossible as it may seem, this Magician’s act may be our last hope against a world filled with intolerance and hate.
