A fan is put in an awkward position when this singer won’t take no for an answer. CONSENT was inspired by the debate about the difference between sexual assault and a bad date. It will show the emotional journey of a victim in a unique and funny way.

Mission Statement
CONSENT will be inclusive in front of and behind the camera. The film's writer and director are both women. We are committed to reflecting the demography of Los Angeles and will include women, POC and LGBTQ individuals in all aspects of production.About The Project
(I know, I need to charge my phone)
The #MeToo movement has brought many accounts of sexual assault, harassment and rape to the forefront of American conversation. After posting about it on social media, I had many debates with friends and coworkers about the difference between sexual assault and a bad date. "Consent: A short comedy about a serious subject" is inspired by that gray area.
Many Hollywood comedies romanticize the persistent suitor. The guy who turns a "no" into a "maybe" and then finally a reluctant "yes". My film, "Consent" attempts to show the absurdity of that approach. It flips the genders and removes the sexual context of the issue. "Consent" maps the emotional journey of a vicitim in a comedic way.
I was inspired by the women that came before me to share my own truth.
I hope "Consent" continues the conversation.
