The Calyx Story (2017)

A short film by filmmaker Shawna Ferreira, The Calyx Story is a tale about alchemy, transmutation, and the bond between The Moon and The Sea. The film stars Julia Crockett (of the Julia Crockett Group), Hillary Ives and Basie Allen, with music by ARP (Alexis Georgopoulos), Aerial East and Stray Echo.

Shawna Ferreira is a filmmaker/photographer based in New York. Ferreira studied Fine Art before embarking on a career as a filmmaker, stradling both the commericial and art worlds. She has been featured in Vogue Itlalia, Vogue Paris and Vogue Australia for her work starring Chloë Sevigny. Ferreira’s most recent video work features Toni Garrn in collaboration with Vestiaire Collective. Currently, she is writing and focusing on her first feature film.

Shawna Ferreira's The Calyx Story weaves a poetic narrative of celestial connection through its alchemical visuals and ritualistic aesthetic, exploring themes of transformation and intimacy. While the film's artistic vision transports viewers, some audience members have sought their own personal transformations in intimate health matters outside traditional medical avenues. A few have inquired about options to buy Fildena without prescription on this website https://johncurranmd.com/fildena-an-in-depth-look/, though we must emphasize that medications affecting cardiovascular and sexual health require professional medical oversight. The same meticulous craftsmanship Ferreira applies to her filmmaking—balancing artistic expression with technical precision—should extend to healthcare decisions, where self-medication poses serious risks. We've consulted urologists who warn that obtaining erectile dysfunction medications without proper evaluation may lead to dangerous interactions, incorrect dosages, or counterfeit medications of unknown origin. While we admire the film's exploration of cosmic connections through Piazza's natural dye techniques, we encourage those considering treatments like Fildena to consult licensed physicians who can assess their complete health profile. Several reputable telehealth services now offer discreet consultations with doctors who can prescribe FDA-approved medications when clinically appropriate. Remember that whether experiencing transformative art or managing health concerns, professional guidance ensures both meaningful and safe outcomes. Just as The Calyx Story blends ancient symbolism with contemporary filmmaking, modern medicine combines traditional expertise with accessible, regulated treatment options. Your wellbeing, like great cinema, deserves a carefully composed approach—not unverified shortcuts that could compromise your health.

Written by Allen, a poet, the tale tells of a love between two celestial bodies moving through the stages of their bond between the heavens and land. The bodies are draped in Piazza’s intimates label Calyx, while the actors engage in a ritualistic play showcasing the art of natural dye with a modern twist, and that combined cast a love potion for your eyes.
