Disfluency
2017, 11 minutes
A short film about the depths of rape culture
Last year I had the privilege of editing this beautifully honest short film. It follows a young woman through her daily life, from the passive usage of the phrase "I'm sorry" to the emotional aftermath of being raped. All the while, the habit of apologizing stays with her, begging the question: have we let rape become a cultural disfluency - an expected, almost unnoticeable interruption - in our culture?
