Film run time: approximate 10 minutes, followed by a Q+A with an Artist Talk.

Based on a live duet between Ali Kenner Brodsky and Jenna Pollack, to be near you honors the memory of those that we have lost, collapses distance by energizing the spaces between, and demonstrates how people can find connection through physical separation.

In June 2021, Ali Kenner Brodsky and Jenna Pollack held an Open Rehearsal at the JAC to rehearse and build upon their performance, prior to the filming.
