It's a zoomed in portrait of a door step. Half of a staircase can be seen in the upper right corner of the image, a sliver of the neighboring building can be seen in the upper left corner of the image, and the sidewalk occupies the lower half of the image. The stairs and sidewalk are made of stone and appear in the same dark blue gray. The door and frame above the stairs are black, and the neighboring building is yellow.

Description

A group of twenty-somethings circle around a stoop and share a joint when one of them gets lost in the mystery and beauty of the urban sidewalk. A mosaic of stories emerge. With diversity and representation, Spot subverts both traditional ideals of storytelling and acting. Spot is comprised of an entirely transgender cast.
