Gorgon
Written and Directed by Emma-Jane Heaton
A woman is stalked as she walks home alone at night.
A woman walking home alone at night but she soon realises she is being followed. She turns down an alleyway as he creeps closer, but she's hiding a dangerous secret.
Director's Statement
"I love a tale of female revenge and Gorgon ticks that box. Inspired by the story of Medusa; a woman raped and cursed for her beauty. The myths treat her as the villain, but I wanted to update the narrative and show her embrace her curse to keep herself safe and take her revenge."
"Gorgon was my answer to a DIY Filmmaker's Sheffield film challenge to make a film with no diologue featuring a tattoo. It was a fun evening on the streets of Sheffield utilising the street lights to create something that looked expesive on zero budget. I'm so proud our micro short has gone so far at festivals."
