Description

So I was given the privilege of a press for Hollyshorts Film Festival again this year and got to watch so many amazing short films, plus I got to do some great interviews with those behind the films.

"Bill" is a darkly comedic short film that explores themes of power, control, and societal expectations. The story follows a woman who, after years of enduring her sexist husband, takes matters into her own hands by murdering him and turning his corpse into a puppet of the perfect husband. This bold narrative challenges viewers to think critically about gender dynamics in a uniquely humorous and horrifying way.

Be sure to be on the lookout for when you can check out this fun dark comedy.
