Preying follows a woman throughout her day as she continuously gets harassed by a variety of men until they push her to her breaking point. This was the second short film I made at the USC Film Production 2019 Summer Program and one of the very first short films I ever made.

I was 17 when I made this film, full of angst and anger against the harassment I had already faced by men as soon as I hit puberty. My anger culminated in this story about a woman who was able to actually get revenge on these men. I had created a feminist rape-revenge story before I even knew that was a genre itself.
