Description

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery following her autism diagnosis, Chameleon grapples with the complexities of love, identity and - most importantly - soggy chips. Reeled in by Snake's intoxicating charm and irresistible jawline, she soon learns that conversation is a delicate and sometimes deadly dance. As she gets lost in the rhythm of the Concrete Jungle, the sound becomes too much and Chameleon wonders… is everything meant to be this complicated? Written and directed by Jess Telling, Chameleon reimagines the turbulence of her neurodivergent experience with dry humour, techno beats and the triumph of embracing one's true colours.
