80/20

Directed by Andi Avery

Director of Photography and Camera Operator: Kate E. Hinshaw

80/20 is a narrative short film about moving through grief in unexpected ways. When Chelsea, a whip smart lady of the night, sneaks away for a relaxing solo weekend in her client Kendall’s cabin, she gets quite a surprise when Kendall’s wife Marie shows up with a bag of ashes to scatter at the family cabin. Plot twist: the ashes are Kendall’s. While Marie knows that Kendall had frequent extramarital affairs, some of them with women he supported financially, she is unprepared to come face to face with that reality. Chelsea breaks the tension between them, breaks down some of Marie’s stereotypes about what it means to be an escort, and eventually breaks through Marie’s tough exterior so they can begin to heal from their loss. The film is a brief, intimate look at two women who cared deeply about the same man.
