Experiencing Interruptions?

Vegan

A lesbian, vegan social media influencer goes on a quest to document the search for her biological parents. Her search leads her to a defunct, secluded farm where she encounters The Farmer, who keeps women as cattle. As old BetaCam footage from the past reveals secrets long buried, will her resolve remain strong, as her worst nightmares become reality? Meanwhile, in the outside world, things are not as they seem. (Shot entirely on GoPros and iPhones on a $7k budget.)

Director Statement

"Vegan" takes a swipe at the vapidity of social media and influencers, while also making a statement on animal abuse. What if humans had to endure the same treatment? The film features a strong female lead, is female written, directed and produced, and makes thought provoking statements on the nature of what have become current societal norms.
