Rainbow Shoes
Length: 90 min.
Age Recommendation/Content: preteen - adult; mature themes & symbolisms (see Viewer Content)
Released: 2020
Synopsis:
Set entirely in a whimsical backstage, a host of curious pantomime characters proceed to tell a tale of a peddler who offers happiness in the form of shoes. But horrid consequences await anyone who puts on the shoes, and the peddler turns out to be far sinister than he first appears, in an age-old story of temptation, redemption, and the freedom that one Savior paid for on the cross. Despite its apparent simplicity, Rainbow Shoes is one of YC's most quietly subversive stories, as well as our most "experimental film" in tone and presentation.
​
This film and NightWorld are the first two full films produced for YC Web in 2020. Rainbow Shoes falls into a unique category of viewership (see Viewer Content for details); though outwardly childlike and theatrical, the film explores deep, dark, and hardcore topics of identity, the devil, sin, hell, and temptation.
