About The Film
The short tale of a capricious heroine and curiosity that can’t quite be killed… Styled in black & white as a period silent film, The Ballad of Gloria Sedgwick follows an inquisitive heroine out for an afternoon stroll. When she happens upon a deserted circus tent she cannot resist the impulse to sneak inside. Emboldened further to climb the silk she finds hanging inside, Gloria finds the challenge somewhat harder than she expects.
