Soufflé

Written By Nina Katz

Directed by Zoe Marin

Produced by Oprah Lemorin

CAST: Sierra Small & Kaitlin Condle

Best friends Willa and Carmen are spending an afternoon baking soufflés for their friend JJ's birthday potluck, a stressless and relaxing experience for Willa because she definitely isn't suppressing feelings for him. As the two friends unwind, Carmen's slip of the tongue unleashes the floodgates of suppressed resentment in their friendship. They must navigate their differing experiences of body dysmorphia and the inadvertent ways their negative self-talk have hurt each other. How can friendship flourish through layers of guilt and shame? With wry humour, Soufflé examines the differing effects fatphobia has on women's self-esteem and relationships, and navigates the shame behind discussing bodies that defy the norm.
