THE NOISE - SHORT FILM
Synopsis
Ella secretly struggles with an eating disorder. On her birthday, her family makes her a rich, mouth-watering meal that causes the negative thoughts in her head to become incessant. The personified version of these thoughts takes an intimidating physical form—The Noise—who continuously pulls Ella into a liminal space to discipline her for her actions. Ella does her best to engage in everyday life, but the harder she fights against The Noise, the more monstrous it becomes.
Jillian wrote, produced, and starred in the short. It is an official selection at the Gasparilla International Film Festival and the Beverly Hills Film Festival.
