ABOUT THE FILM

The film was shot over two days in one of the streets in Reading. We were a crew of five people out of which two also acted in the film, along with another actor. The film focuses on the journey of a young woman on her way back home alone at night and compares it to that of her male friend. It uses small nuances and framing to explore their state of minds while they're walking back home. The film tries to portray certain "privileges" men have in their daily lives. The story of this film was conceived while my classmates and I sat down to discuss our real life experiences of walking home alone at night as women.
