Doublespeak

DOUBLESPEAK by Hazel McKibbin. Hazel's film is a harrowing look at sexual harassment in the workplace. It's a horror movie disguised as a workplace drama. The tension is built around a knockout performance from Angela Wong Carbone as the protagonist who tries to navigate the incredibly rocky terrain of lodging an HR complaint for sexual harassment. The short is tightly made and ratchets up the tension with only a scene or two. If you enjoyed this short film, I highly recommend Kitty Green's film THE ASSISTANT which explores similar themes within the entertainment workplace context.
