Happy Birthday Rachel Confrancisco

Synopsis: Welcome to the hottest party of freshman year! Rachel Confrancisco has always been self-conscious, but on her 18th birthday and her first day of college she radically demands to exist. Rachel is unruly as she tries to control her roller coaster of a day.

Written By Rachel Confrancisco and Justine Wolf Williams

Director’s statement: The world expects women to be small and it was really hard for me to accept being 5'11" by 7th grade. I slouched, I bent, I tried to hide. I am often as tall or taller than the men I am around. In many ways this makes me feel like I am not "feminine". This film commemorates the day I demanded to exist, and to take up space in the process. Consider this my coming of age. Happy birthday to me.
