Director Statement

Just Girls is a love letter to the fleeting and complex moments of teenage girlhood. Set within the intimate confines of a high school bathroom, the story captures the sacred, unspoken rituals of friendship and self-discovery that unfold in seemingly ordinary spaces.
I hope Just Girls resonates with women of all ages, reminding them that they, too, were once just girls—imperfect and beautifully complicated.
