OUR CURRENT PROJECT
Short Film "Frances
Frances, serves as a poignant exploration of the pervasive housing crisis that has gripped our society. Going beyond mere statistics, the film endeavors to shatter preconceived notions about homelessness and directs attention to the alarming reality that anyone, regardless of their background, can find themselves facing the harsh uncertainties of housing instability. At the heart of the narrative is Frances, a resilient and hardworking woman navigating the aftermath of a recent divorce. As if the emotional toll of separation weren't enough, her rental property becomes short-term holiday accommodation. Faced with the daunting task of finding a new home in a fiercely competitive market, Frances encounters insurmountable challenges due to her single income and her unwillingness to be separated from her beloved dog.
Her unwavering pride becomes both a shield and an obstacle, preventing her from seeking assistance from friends or family. Consequently, she finds herself reluctantly residing in her car, a stark symbol of the precariousness of housing in the modern world. Despite maintaining a positive outlook, Frances undergoes a series of unfortunate events that gradually erode her resilience, pushing her to despair. It becomes painfully clear to Frances that, in order to break free from her living situation, she must swallow her pride and muster the courage to seek help from those around her. Through Frances' journey, the film serves as a powerful commentary on the importance of dismantling stereotypes surrounding homelessness, urging viewers to confront the harsh realities faced by individuals who unexpectedly find themselves on the fringes of society's housing crisis.
