HOW I BLEW IT, 12min., Hong Kong, Comedy/Relationships
Directed by Charlene Marrie
How I Blew It is a campy dark comedy about a girl, Willa who is trying to navigate a toxic relationship. As a shy and naively in love girl (well who thinks she's in love), she struggles to realise that she needs to break up with Mati, her toxic, manipulative and sexually inappropriate boyfriend. Mati throws Willa a birthday brunch at his bitchy girl friend's house, where he only invites his friends and none of Willa's. Willa feels like a total outsider, struggling to enjoy the party among the oddly campy, rude and overly sexual guests. As the brunch develops, so does Willa and Mati's relationship.
