Mara is a ceramicist living alone in Brooklyn - who makes a living off of commissioned foot sculptures. When her older sister Emi arrives to recover from surgery, the two women spend 48 hours together in Mara’s apartment where they both quietly reckon with motherhood; one in the midst of it, the other staring right at it.
A feature film written by Annie Gaudioz Young. The script and ceramics are in development at Woodward Residency, and the film is currently seeking funding. If you’d like to support or collaborate, get in touch.
