FestFlix Fun Fact:
Asking For It is a satire that explores a day in the life of a victim who is not believed when reporting a crime to authorities. During the pandemic, I adapted the play Asking For It into a short film, flipping the gender of the lead character from male to female. I am grateful to share that our talented cast and crew is diverse and inclusive, comprised of women, survivors of assault, different ethnicities and includes members of the LGBTQIA+ and disabled community.
