Experiencing Interruptions?

The Interval

The film talks about Suki, a teenage girl studying in a Design Institute who has missed her periods and her only hope at the moment is a small pregnancy test kit which will decide her future, literally. While she waits for the test to show results, in that span of five minutes, she overthinks every possibility at the speed of light. All the things that would happen to her, all the situations she would find herself in in case the tests comes positive, just flash across her eyes and keep pushing her deeper into anxiety land.

Director Statement

We wanted to experiment with different mediums so, our animation switches seamlessly between mediums that are poles apart and displays the aforementioned feelings visually in order to make the viewer understand what a girl feels when she is stuck in such a situation. “The Interval” as the name suggests, represents the pause in her menstrual cycle, the film is a journey of Suki’s mind where one can step into her shoes, just for a minute and learn to value the situation.
