Hello there!! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for "BABY TALK". I am truly so excited to share with you my project which investigates freedom and agency versus medicalization, infantilization, and hypersexualization of the female body.
WHAT IS THIS SHORT:
I was always taught to cope by laughing, so as we continue to live in dystopian times, where women around the world are endangered through their loss of political, legal, and medical bodily autonomy, let's make a short where we can cathartically recognize how important this conversation is.
This French New Wave-inspired dark comedy follows a young woman on her journey to happiness, and freedom. What if you did all the meditating, working out, and deep breathing that your therapist told you to do, but life still overwhelmed you... Well, this is Elle's story. We meet her at her breaking point, her brain is so busy that she can barely walk straight. Something in her life must change...
Debilitated by the chaos in her brain, Elle goes to see the doctor, played by Emmy winner Christina Pickles. The doctor luckily has just the fix to clear the mind and snap her into a consistent presence!
A pre-frontal lobotomy!
Told with suspense and humor, "BABY TALK" investigates what if the worst-case scenario was actually the answer all along.
