"Unfold" Short Film

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build suddenly doesn’t fit anymore?

UNFOLD is a poetic, intimate film that follows Bailey, a woman who once had it all figured out—until one choice unraveled everything. Set in the quiet hush of a motel room and a lonely café, this story explores grief, identity, and the silent courage it takes to walk away from perfection and face what’s real.

Written and directed by Karen Wanjiku, "Unfold" is a love letter to anyone who has had to choose themselves in a world that often tells us not to. It’s about the messy beauty of starting over and the quiet power of release.

We’ve poured our hearts into developing this story and have assembled a passionate, crew to make it happen. Now, we need your support to bring "Unfold" to the screen.

Your contribution will help us cover:

• Production costs to capture the emotional tone of Bailey’s world

• Equipment costs to film safely and professionally

• Post-production editing, sound, and music to shape the final piece

• Festival submissions to share this story far and wide

No donation is too small. Every dollar helps us tell a story that might just be what someone out there needs to hear.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between the life you had and the one you truly want—this film is for you.
