Director’s Statement: I am almost certain that if you’ve gone on a good doom scroll any time in the past few years you’ve encountered the term “female rage” or “feminine rage” used over and over again. Those two words pasted over a curated montage of Mia Goth in Pearl, Dominique Swain in Lolita, Angela Bassett in Waiting To Exhale, Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag, and the list goes on forever. “Female rage” might be nearing online overuse, but it speaks to something I’m sure any woman—or anyone who grew up under the blanket of girlhood—can perfectly understand; the desire to be heard. To be seen. To be respected, maybe even a little bit feared. We are in the midst of a renaissance of rage, and like all renaissances, it starts with art. 

“It was fucking excellent.” — Tina Mitchell
