Director Statement
Since She Left is about regret with the universal theme of reaching middle age and reflecting on decisions made in youth. Decisions that can often be shaped by fear of retribution. Coming out is still difficult for many but society is changing. This film highlights a generation that often times lacked the freedom to do so especially in more rural parts of the country.
Baby boomers had come of age in an era that promoted the expression of individuality but unfortunately, not all were able to embrace that ideal. For many there still existed a deep undercurrent of 50’s morality, not only prevalent in small town America but in most women of that generation.
This film exposes how intolerance and bigotry of a community can often create a lifelong fear for those most vulnerable. It will be a visual poem to the many who have lost their way and seek to find who they really are.
