MAW Teaser (25-seconds)
Through a visceral fever dream, Tommy Taretta’s spoken word poetry grapples with madness, despair, and finding meaning in the underside of Los Angeles.
The title MAW depicts jaws that devour without restraint, often figuratively, such as the "maw of greed" for excessive and insatiable greed or the "maw of brokenness" for the destructive nature of a society that spreads brokenness.
