(A Short Film)
One seemingly average day a woman wakes up and finds she is unable to control her mind and body. A shift is occurring - it's Day 1 of the Matriarchy.
(A Short Film)
One seemingly average day a woman wakes up and finds she is unable to control her mind and body. A shift is occurring - it's Day 1 of the Matriarchy.
A note from Kimberly Dillon (Writer/Producer/Director)
ONE DAY is a short drama that follows a woman on the first day that the world shifts into a matriarchy.
It explores how women navigate the current status quo and what it might look and feel like if women's energetic power grew so it created a moment that shifted our society into a female paradigm.
INCLUSION STATEMENT
This film is about women and the crew will be 100% female identifying. This film is for everyone who believes in equality.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Most of the world operates upon a patriarchal way of living. Reverence and trust in female driven and matrilineal ways of life have fallen by the wayside, if not stamped out altogether. Many women operate under ideas that have been handed down from generation to generation; oftentimes without question as to their validity, significance, or the effect it has on them physically and emotionally. Most recently, a renaissance has occurred where women of all kinds have risen to exclaim injustices, call out inequalities, and cry out for change.
I've been the girl who has always asked "why?", had an inclination to lead and organize, and feel things deeply in my bones (a sensitive soul.) I was born in Ohio and raised in a middle-class, blue-collar town. Many times, I've been called "too much" and felt like I just don't fit in anywhere. Growing up, I appreciated and enjoyed all types of people, activities and experiences. I refused to be put in to a box, they just aren't my thing.
As the years have gone by, I've gotten more and more interested in our collective women's experience - our history and struggles and our innate power. When I followed the 2015 rape case involving (he who will not be named), the student from Stanford, I was overcome with such a visceral reaction and had so many emotions that I barely knew how to process them.
From journaling and watching myself and other women navigate ourselves through space and our lives, this script came to be.
I pondered subjects such as why we make ourselves small on the subway, how my posture changes when I'm walking home late at night, and why women often have more harmful remarks about their bodies than good.
Through in-person sisterhood circles, I talked and connected with other women about their experiences and their stories became a chorus that lifted and bonded us together. I've grown so confident in our strength as women, and believe in our community and harnessing of our special gifts. I believe that a new day is obtainable for all of us and this film is that exploration.
SYNOPSIS
One seemingly average morning, a woman wakes up to begin her usual tasks and she finds herself exhibiting behaviors that are unexplainable. From her normal alone habits to her experiences in public, it becomes obvious that an inexplicable force is getting in the way of her status quo.
WHY THIS FILM?
The time has come for the inequities that women face be acknowledged. It's imperative that real changes occur to give equal opportunities and value to women.
Despite many outward gains, many people still believe that women belong in the kitchen, aren't as smart as their male peers in the workplace, should only be respected for their looks, are prizes to be claimed, and should bear all of the emotional responsibility in relationships.
Our society has entered a pivotal place where women's worth and position is being faced head on. This movie will contribute to this conversation and hopes to challenge us by imagining a new beginning.

A WORD ABOUT CROWDFUNDING...
Crowdfunding is just that. Asking for support from friends, family, and people who believe in you and the art you create. The more word of mouth and people know what you're doing, the wider the net you create. The wider the net, the more support you're able to receive.
Many independent artists have taken to fundraising in this way because they aren't backed by production companies, grants, or other benefactors. They desire their artistry to be shared with others and to have a feeling of command over their creative endeavors. These are reasons why artists crowdfund.
