THE TERRIBLE TALE OF HENRIETTA TATE

As she travels by train to advertise a soft drink, Bubble Girl, a hot-pink corporate mascot with amnesia, is framed for theft. Thrown into the prisoner’s car with the drink’s inventor, a magical chain of events unfolds to reveal her true identity. Starring model Yumi Lambert.

Director’s Statement:
Fairy tales and folklore have always dealt with transformation and metamorphosis. In many cases, the hero or heroine is trapped, and awoken by love. This is the case for Henrietta Tate, but her prison is Bubble Girl, her captors are corporate greed.

What ultimately saves her from this trap is love.I wanted to explore these themes in a modern context, without losing sight of folk-lore tradition. In production we described it as a modern silent film, mixed with fantasy, scored operatically throughout, and with characters who are neither human nor cartoon, but somewhere in between.

This exploration of the boundaries between the real and the imagined is something I wanted to explore with Bubble Girl. I wanted to create a character who represents the perversion of what we aspire to be, versus who we really are and who we actually become.
