The Story

Some Girl is a film about hidden violence—not only the harm done to one person, but the impact on everyone who chooses not to look too closely.

 

The story was loosely inspired by an anecdote in Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood, which speaks to the importance of women seeing their experiences reflected honestly in culture. I was drawn to the quieter aftermath of violence—the denial, rationalization, and silence that can feel safer than truth.

 

Rather than focusing on a single act, the film explores how violence can operate invisibly—through social pressure, minimization, and complicity—and how these forces erode our connection to ourselves and one another.

At its core, the film is also about voice and intuition—how easily they can be dismissed in environments that reward silence.
