Screenwriter Robyn Campbell wrote the short film 'Pivot', a story about a 12-year-old girl who stands up to her mother after being forced to wear a dress that she hates.
Two Saskatchewan women are making names for themselves in Hollywood, premiering their animated short in Los Angeles this week., a story about a 12-year-old girl who stands up to her mother after being forced to wear a dress that she hates.
“The idea actually came from a friend from the time I was in preschool,” Campbell said. “Her mom would make her wear these really ugly, frilly dresses for every picture day, Christmas concert, and she absolutely hated it.”Campbell said that the emotional part of the story was derived from her own fears in life.
The film has been selected to be premiered at 32 different film festivals and is now at the Holly Short Film Festival in Los Angeles.“We were told that getting into 10 per cent of festivals you apply to is very successful and we have gotten into about 30 per cent,” Campbell said. Campbell met animation director Erica Miles during their time together at film school in Vancouver and started the project together.
“It was interesting reading because it was like reading a story about my own life,” Miles said. “Everyone was able to connect to the story about trying to work up the courage to tell the people that you love who you authentically are.
