Director’s Statement

‘F is for Friendship’ may have girlish tendencies, but underneath the dinner parties, the fine wine, and the macarons is a serious dialogue about identity. EMILY, our reclusive protagonist, who is played captivatingly by JOOSJE DUK, has withdrawn from her social scene without explanation. It becomes apparent that Emily’s identity has been stolen and rather than confront the thief, she’s chosen to avoid her friends.

Emily has become elusive, and has yet to challenge the thief, because she is ashamed of the embarrassing life she’s led. Emily would prefer to lose her individuality rather than let anyone in on the secret of the vulgar lifestyle she’s led. Shame has caused Emily to lose herself.

This story is about Emily accepting her crass personality and refusing to let shame control her life. And that’s the moment when we should all be sweetly entertained.
