Contrariety

I co-wrote, co-directed, and acted in this short film with my creative partner Sebastiano Pigazzi. It is our short-form directorial debut.

Contrariety is a narrative short film that explores the intersection between the importance of identity and the freedom of losing it.

It follows Steve, a brooding and audacious young man, as he descends into an addictive spiral of abuse in search of himself.

I play Mara, his wife.

This 25 minute short has many twists and turns, so watch carefully or you may miss a clue needed to put the puzzle together.
