"Bloom" is inspired by the legend of the Dama de Noche: http://aralingpinoy.blogspot.com/2009/05/legend-of-dama-de-noche.html

This short is based on the legend's theme: how are we motivated by love to find ways to evolve or transform ourselves? It challenges the idea of to whom that love is directed, breaking away from the traditional norms and notions of undying love.
