Experiencing Interruptions?

Love's a Thin Diet (Shortened)

A college student, an older professor, a small private office, a bottle of wine, and unexpected games blur the line between seduction and consent…
Aphra publishes an article detrimental to her ex-husband Oliver and he confronts her about it. Did Oliver do something to help Aphra or did he take advantage of her, as she asserts in her article? The story of their relationship provides the backdrop for this play about sexual harassment and the dynamics of power, control, choice, and revenge.

Director Statement

When I was an undergraduate, my professor invited me to his private office. Like the women in the film, he offered me wine and asked personal questions. He asked me to return but I never did. This film is for all the young women who did return, and more importantly, for those who are about to.
