Perfect Love

I want viewers to deeply connect with this vulnerable and personal short film, and for people to feel understood and emboldened to love themselves without self-editing. That being said, the tone is not sentimental. It is real and honest, with unexpected challenges and moments of levity.

The self-doubt that our protagonist, Evelyn, feels is both insidious and universal. People of all backgrounds are relating to Evelyn—people with sexual trauma, people with a fundamental religious upbringing, those in the LGBTQ+ community, anyone who has ever felt out of their body, and even those who are just victims of social messaging around how you should present yourself and who you should be attracted to. Different and specific parts of her journey are resonating soundly with a large audience.

Shooting this film was one of the highlights of my life. The set was overwhelmingly queer, filled with women and nb folx, and felt warm and collaborative. We worked to make everyone feel safe, welcome, and appreciated.
