BOMBSHELL (2022)
By Maggie Mustion, Arielle Weinberger, and Mallory Goldsmith
Middle schooler Erin constantly compares herself to Maya, her older sister. In Erin’s eyes, Maya has it all, leaving Erin to feel insecure about herself. However, in one night Erin learns that Maya may not be as perfect as she appears to be.
Director’s Note:
Although I based this film off of the complex and always-changing relationship I had with my sister growing up, I hope it reaches out and touches anyone who can relate to the characters’ issues.
To all the Erins in the world, who felt like life would be just a bit easier in someone else’s shoes; and to all the Mayas, who are quietly fighting to stay above the surface. I hope you can understand each other a bit more.
