Filmmaker Statement

I started coming up with the idea for this short, Open House at Floralville’s Orphanage, after reading an article about body dysmorphia couple years ago. Reading the article brought back memories of all kinds of remarks that I heard about my body throughout my adolescence. As I’m learning to appreciate my body and move past those comments, I felt the need to tell such a story, even just to reconcile with my thirteen-year-old self. For me, using a fictional fantasy narrative appeared to be the most fitting way to address the bittersweet essence of this coming-of-age story. I hope that individuals who have had similar experiences will find resonance in the story in any shape or form and feel reassured that they are not to blame for what happened, and that they are indeed good enough.
