The Period Uniform

A young girl navigates the silent anxiety of having her period at school, revealing the hidden emotional world behind an everyday experience.

After a young piano teacher falls victim to her dictatorial husband's abuse, she transforms into a fox and haunts the spaces of the living.

See You In The Dark

As Nora’s trauma resurfaces, she is drawn toward the promise of justice, resolution, and catharsis, while facing the possibility that it may remain out of reach. The film lives in this tension – between speaking out and the cost of not being heard.

Rebecca Rose Harris
