Filmmaker Statement

Have you ever had that moment where everything seems just a little surreal? Where you wonder if you're descending into madness? This film is our realization of the parallels between Wonderland and Hollywood. Our experiences in the film industry felt very much like stepping through the looking glass, akin to the beloved childhood story we all grew up with. But the Hollywood Dream, just like Alice's magical chase, comes with its own perils. This film explores the duality of said Hollywood magic - it's enthralling quality as well as the more sinister undercurrents. We also wanted to dive deeper into the existing unrealistic expectations of the female experience in Hollywood. This project is imbued with our personal experience - the experience of any minority in this business - a never ending game where the goalpost keeps moving.  ​ This movie is our collective lucid dream. By recognizing the absurdity of the situation we can continue to find the strength to enact change.
