short film: roof

Roof from Megumi Haggerty on Vimeo.

Roof is the story of a group of friends who experience a difficult but typical day, where they are made to feel "other" in common situations, until they regroup, recover and rejoice in being themselves when together. This "other"-ness we feel from society is because we are women, biracial, gay, immigrants, and have non-American names. I had been (and still am) frustrated by the prevalence of whitewashing in mainstream television and cinema, of feeling ignored, unseen and unappreciated. I made Roof to share those feelings of many ways of being marginalized, and also to address them by providing a platform to tell the sort of stories I didn't think were being told. A film that shows real examples of how my friends and I experience life. How at the end of the day, we come together to discuss it, dissect it, laugh about it, and grow stronger from it. I hope this film makes anyone else feeling alone and "other" that they are not. That they are whole and perfect and they're going to get through it.
