Film Description:
Moulded is an independent short film, based on an unpublished story of the same name, written by Ananya Bhasin.
The short follows a young woman after she breaks up as she seeks self discovery through her art and inspiration found in other women.
Over the course of the short, the protagonist observes strangers who embody personal qualities she admires in them and desires for herself. She remembers them by a standout facial feature, and begins sculpting these features into a clay head as she sinks deeper into loneliness.
In the end, be it through magic, her imagination or however you choose to interpret it, the clay woman created from borrowed features comes to life, forcing our protagonist to see herself beyond what she’s tried to find in the mirror.
