Story
Mission Statement
This is a story about empowering people who feel held down by their different-ness. It's about celebrating who we are and find others who do the same. The film is written, directed, produced, and stars women in a story that will resonate with everyone.About The Project
Most of us think of floating away as a form of freedom. It's a metaphor. But how would you react in everyday life if you literally could not keep yourself tethered to the Earth. The anxiety, constant need for control, and loneliness would be all-consuming.
A Grievance With Gravity follows Zoe as she adjusts to her new life without the effect of gravity. Dating, work, and family all evolve.
This is a story that on the surface is a sweet and empowering sci-fi film. But bubbling underneath, it is an analogy for a feeling many of us have experienced. This film encourages us to be resilient, honest, and celebrate our uniqueness.
