ARTIST PROJECT INFO

Faster is a narrative short film about a woman looking to get out of town, and fast. Set in the gritty underworld of Tulsa's strip club, Faster follows Kat, also known as Pussycat, who is offered a job for the night to make some quick cash. When her boss corners her in his office in a coercive deal of money in exchange for sexual compliance, Kat fights back in an act of rebellion. In a fit of rage, Kat steals his cash, car, and his girls. This short film explores themes of female rage and vengeance born from sexual assault—emotions often silencing or paralyzing to the victim.
