Picture Day

Picture Day is a short film told through the eyes of a young tomboy (Casey) who becomes an outcast at her new school when her family relocates from Alaska to Los Angeles. In order to fit in, Casey decides to pierce her ears, betraying her mother and triggering a family crisis.

Through the context of a mother-daughter relationship, Picture Day explores the awkward transition from adolescent girlhood to sexual maturity and the sacrifices we make in order to fit in.
