We're turning our short into a feature film thanks to Jim Cumming's Short to Feature Film Lab and Seed&Spark.

A short film that shines a light on the ubiquity of rape culture and the aftermath of rape itself.
With the help of producing partner SafeBAE safebae.org
We follow a Jane through her daily life, from her passive usage of the phrase "I'm sorry," to her being raped and the emotional aftermath. All the while, this habit of apologizing eerily stays with her throughout, begging the question: have we let rape become a cultural disfluency—an expected, almost unnoticeable interruption—in our culture?
