Threaded

In a world where soulmates are connected via red threads attached to their fingers, Pierce goes on a journey to find true love. The film serves as a contemporary re-imagining of the Chinese legend of the red thread of fate.

Director Statement

This film was written by myself and my friend Daniela Watkins during our first week of school as freshmen at Boston University, and it has a message that we both strongly believe in. Our world may not have literal red threads that connect soulmates, but romance is an intrinsic part of our culture to an extent that I believe to be unhealthy. This film is my answer to that, taking a classic setup of unrequited love and coming to a more original conclusion.
