"I am interested in telling a story that doesn’t sensationalize trauma, but instead stays with the victim in the aftermath—the self-questioning, the silence, and the slow unraveling of trust in the institutions and people who are supposed to support them. One in five women will be sexually assaulted during college, yet so many of those experiences go unspoken or disbelieved. My intention is to tell this story with restraint and honesty—to sit with discomfort, to steer clear of tired tropes, and to hold space for the contradictions survivors often carry. There is no such thing as a “perfect victim,” and I hope to create a world in this film where survivors can relate to LUCY and feel vindicated in her mission."
