Conrad loves Beatrice while Beatrice loves herself. Together, they make for an odd pair, one unable to express his emotions, the other unable to contain them. "Velvet" is the story of their relationship and the crushed velvet jacket that comes between them.
Commissioned as part of our CCCV Stories series, where filmmakers created stories inspired by Miami neighborhoods for Borscht 6. Peter Glanz's film takes place in the Design District.
