She Said, Yes

Short Film | 15 min | San Francisco

SHE SAID, YES is a coming-of-age short film that explores the theme of guilt and our protagonist's journey toward accountability. Deciding to separate from someone you love is difficult, and few stories portray how challenging it is to pull the plug on a long-term partnership—especially during illness.

The fear of harming another or not making the right choice can paralyze a person, keeping them bound to a situation that only harms both parties. Instead of being honest with her feelings, our protagonist makes a controversial move and cheats, subconsciously creating the catalyst to implode their struggling relationship. When someone does not take accountability for their wrongdoings and attempts to maintain the status quo, the pain and guilt can be devouring, causing more damage than necessary.

This film allows space for audiences to contemplate what honesty, accountability, and courage look like within our relationships. How do we overcome the impossible choices we're confronted with, even when they seem difficult or cruel?
