Shorts Program 2: Wrath (81 mins)
They say hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn. The sin of wrath fits nicely among our vengeful protagonists. Revenge against evil men, other than human, formidable forces, even the unsettlingly disproportionate fury of a woman whose driveway has been blocked. Our filmmakers remind us that the seemingly small and weak are not to be under-estimated.
