synopsis

here is a a brief out line for my film

two surreal cosmetic counter ladies stand on either side of a huge circular mound like creature made out of clothes. there are two empty clothe racks each symmetrically placed behind the ladies. they are praying in synchronicity bearing proud smiles.

the film is all shot in reverse to give it a surreal like quality. the opening shot that i have briefly described is in fact the last shot technically because the film is in reverse. Another reason for it to be shot in reverse is its meant to explain and unwind and break down the layers of how it got to this point in the opening shot.

as the film progresses the cosmo cosmetic counter laddies will begin to undress the mound but they were actually dressing the mound creature but in reverse it makes them seem like they are undressing there creation. As the ladies undress there creation in sync they put the clothes back on the racks layer by layer. under the many hats and coats there is even a human spine that is put back orderly but without getting into too much detail they eventually reach a circle like cage that is pulled apart like an egg shell. inside the cage is a naked girl curled up in a foetal position the cosmetic counter ladies return to their starting positions then the film will loop or switch from reverse to real time but speed up perhaps, then once they reach the opening shot go back to reverse. this process and ritual is symbolic of the layers of images and identities that get forced on women subconsciously by society at an early age makeing them forget their true selves.
