Sky High is short experimental film created by the art team SUPERM (Brian Kenny & Slava Mogutin) and produced by Please Do Not Enter in Los Angeles in 2014. The film was cast, shot, edited and premiered within two weeks as a unique site-specific element of their exhibition SUPERM FRUIT. Using their immediate surroundings, local and newly made friends as cast members, SUPERM wove a short non-narrative meditation on beauty, youth, sentimentality and desire within the context of a day in summer in downtown Los Angles.
