About this submission
This project was shot during the midst of the Covid outbreak back in October 2020 when myself and my co-creating partner decided to push past challenges at that time, get our own equipment together and just shoot our sizzle reel. We followed all guidelines and testing and found a great group of female actors, willing to be apart of a women and minority led production.
The Story: Desperate to change the course of her life for herself and her daughter, Jillian, a diner waitress in Phoenix takes up what seems like an opportunity of a lifetime to become a content moderator for the world’s largest social media platform. With one eye on the future and the other on her past, Jillian isn’t prepared for the trauma her new seemingly safe job has in store for her. Not having been equipped to manage her own childhood trauma, she slowly begins to remember every single bit of daunting instance from her abusive father and her neglectful mother.
