The Story
Lily, a once apathetic millennial now throws herself into the task of saving Los Angeles from the intensifying water crisis as a means to avoid her own reality that she is losing her mother. Heroic intentions aside, Lily alienates those around her as she descends into self destruction by ceasing to consume water all together.
WHY:
Running out of clean drinking water is one of my biggest fears. I have obsessed over NPR’s dreadful scientific predictions and the state of the world’s water, and imagined an extreme version not being able to seperate myself and let it go. So I decided to write about what that might look like.
My other main inspiration while writing Thirsty Girl was losing my own mother, Debbie, to Breast Cancer. After beating an early diagnosis several years ago, it aggressively came back and she just passed this December. Although I personally never distanced myself from my parents during this period, I did struggle with my own lack of control and desire for distractions. My need to make THIRSTY GIRL became very pressing after this life changing experience.
