Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joseph made this after noticing how often women trade 'looks' with strangers in public—those micro-interactions became the film's entire visual language.
Premiered at Sundance 2008, this short helped spark a wave of female-directed 'elevated horror' examining everyday gendered violence years before 'Promising Young Woman.'
