I'm Just A Girl

Artist Statement

The short animated film I’m Just A Girl is about the normalized lessonsgirls and women receive from a young age of how you’re always supposed tobe aware of your surroundings while growing up. I personally never gave theidea of being on guard all the time much thought, but after moving to a citythat’s far from home, and being away from my family, I began to think moreabout it and became more paranoid about my surroundings, even though Iknew that there was nothing going on around me. The newer generations haslearned to see this as the norm and cope with humor as for the trend “I’m justa girl” where they do silly things so no one approaches them while they walkhome at night. I wanted to portray a normal habit that girls tend to procurewithout ever realizing because it’s the “norm” in society.
