DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Girl Therapy is a genre-bending love letter to friendship. Through a bold mix of action, comedy, and ghost story tropes—anchored by elegant cinematography and period-style design—we explore the quiet heartbreak of growing apart from someone who once meant everything.
I’ve always connected deeply with my female friends—their emotional fluency, their messiness, their strength. This film is about them. About us. About the things we never say.
Even more meaningful: one of the girls in the cast starred in a student film I made when she was eight. Now she’s fourteen, and she pitched Girl Therapy to me. Collaborating with her—and the other young women—has been a joy.
This isn’t a story about boys. It’s about girls who fight, joke, shut down, show up. It’s bold and stylish—wide lenses, choreographed blocking, period elegance with modern bite.
Not everything is forgiven. But the door is open.
