The Misery of Blaire Bishop is a 24 page drama short film. It follows Amelia, as she and her husband return to her childhood home, the Bishop house. The reason: the suicide of the youngest Bishop, Blaire. Blaire left Amelia a note, in which she blames a member of their family for her choice, although she doesn’t say who. Now, Amelia must investigate her politician mother, narcissistic brother, and failure of a father to try and figure out who or what is responsible for The Misery of Blaire Bishop. The film looks at what it means to be part of a family, and asks if toxic patterns and dynamics are ever truly repairable.
