Hollow
Abstract
“Hollow” is a narrative short about a girl that breaks up with her emotionally abusive boyfriend after countless months of trying to make things work. In the final moments of their relationship, the story explores how it all started, what lead her to this point, and how she copes and perseveres in the aftermath. The film is directed by Amelia Figueroa and Jieun Son. Other crew members and actors involved TBA. The film is meant to be a narrative message about emotionally abusive relationships. More recently in pop culture, there’s been a wave of songs and stories about toxic relationships and people (mostly women) feeling emotionally attached and helpless. In a time when our culture is turning towards accepting toxic relationships as okay, this film is meant to show that it’s not okay. The story is based off of a toxic relationship one of the creators was in, so the knowledge comes from their personal experience. Because of this, we want to make this film to encourage strength to those who know they’re in a bad place to make the decision she did and leave for their own well-being. Sometimes life gets better after casting aside things.
