Laundry
a meditative short…
that speaks of the battle between innocence and corruption. Set against a rural backdrop, the film brings into focus the destructive impact sexual assault can have on the mental capacity of a human being. Paralleling the event with mundane activities, the short aims to articulate the fact that this type of trauma seeps into everything one does, and will continue to negatively impact her being on a existential level.

Director’s Notes
I wrote this film in hopes to visually express the issues tackled in sexual assault. Laundry is the manifestation of what I can imagine can be most people’s encounters. One can only try to distract them self but in the end they can never truly escape from what has happened.
