Storyline

The Zuzax is a climate change narrative film about rural New Mexico in the future. One story tells the life of Jayde, a girl quarantined in her rural community after being hit with a solar flare. The other follows two girls who meet in the Zuzax and have a moment to be kids. The film heavily showcases the beauty of the liminal, abandoned spaces, and the landscapes of New Mexico.

"Several girls navigate life in rural NM in 200 years, when the ozone layer has ripped and the world is a starkly different place."
