The Ladies
OFFICIAL SELECTION ~ OUTFEST LOS ANGELES 2022 ~ NEWFEST 2022 ~ INDIANAPOLIS LGBT FILM FESTIVAL ~ LGBTQ+ TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL
Emma scrambles to hide an affair with her grandma’s best friend from her grieving grandma and nosy cousin. The story is semi-autobiographical and based on Gutowitz’s real life experience of living with her grandmother following the death of her grandfather. (Minus the affair part, sadly). “The Ladies” is Gutowitz’s first short film.
