The Story.

Why do women have to do so much to fit anywhere?

Mole explores obsessive tendencies that women often find themselves perpetuating: trying to be perfect and always seeing something through to the end, even if it leads to self-destruction. So much is asked of us: by society, culture, our families, our bodies. This short is an interrogation of that. Without prompting, our protagonist tries to ‘fix’ a natural mid-twenties crisis by committing herself to things she has been told she should want. We see her be led by those closest to her to a possibility of balance, only to reject it. The product is someone who sees a measured approach as shying away from something difficult.

This is the disease most women have in trying to make space for themselves: if you’re going to do it, do it properly and do it yourself, even if it compromises your happiness and mental health.

Why?

Mole is currently in post-production.

With the help of donations, we’ve completed the edit, sound design and score. We do however need another £2,000 so that we can complete: sound mix, colour grading, final edit, festival submissions and screening. We’d so appreciate any donation so that we can complete the film and launch it into the festival circuit. You can do so here.

If you're not in a position to donate, please do give us a follow on socials to keep up to date with the film's progress and our upcoming projects:
