Here She Is
Here She Is, written by Megan Rosati and directed by us jointly, centers around a beauty pageant contestant who experiences strange visions. The short ends inconclusively and leaves quite a bit up to the audience to interpret. I'm personally an audience member who wants to know everything, so intentionally withholding the answers was an interesting stance to take for this short.
