Shades of Carnivorous

Arturo

The boy starves to become to the man he needs to be. He exists in a vacuum of terror and scary questions that cannot be released without paying a large price for freedom. He latches onto deep, dark reds, to soak in his hunger like a ravenous wolf. When he meets the anger that feels like a twin in Dan, he wants to sink his teeth into that fury like the finest cut of beef, raw. He is carnivorous inside, a growling pang of non-stop hunger for something deeper.

Manuel

The man hunts whoever is in his path, and all are potentially his new prey. No one is safe to his endless vices of money, drugs, sex and power. Everyone and everything can be used as trophies and as a result of his ravenous pride that stalks others like a silent crocodile hunting for unsuspecting prey. He is carnivorous outside, leeching onto others like a parasite to suck them dry.

Dan

The quiet anger that seeps inside of the police captain is like a well of grief, pouring out like a lion that growls with no bite. He is stalked by the most common of prey, looking for a way to gain sympathy to look wounded so Dan can come to their aid. However, once the prey locks Dan in, they take care to slowly devour him from the inside out. He has an ineffable carnivorous nature that only can be seen by the scars and lesions that have cracked his heart, mind and body.

Sera

Unlucky in love, Sera looks at any potential competition for a suitor to be dead-meat. She will look at them like prey to destroy, to finish off. Even as a vegan, she will lock in her supposed enemy of love with a deadly glare. She is carnivorous in ways of love, passion and romance.

Aki

An orphan that seeks approval, the soft-spoken comedian longs to find the deep red hues of his broken youth. He hungers for a lost feeling, a sense of belonging and home. Its a split red popsicle that seeps blood in the end that really hangs Aki’s life in the balance; a carnivorous, broken stoplight that spouts red flags and pain in place of real family and love.
