Bridget Arnet’s 2014 (very) short film The Damsel, done in one single shot, features Czech model and actress Veronica LaVery as a bath-taking beauty who seems to feel like she’s in distress as she sits in her tub, but then suddenly gets out of the tub and walks directly to a man’s residence two doors down the block, slugs him, and turns around to presumably return to her house. An act that gets her “out of distress.”
The 1:45 film has been described as “a short short film about the modern damsel.” I don’t really get it and since there is nothing in the short to indicate who the man is to the girl or if they have ever interacted or even met before, I suppose it’s all up to the viewers’ interpretation. Anyway, the cinematography is great and I have a hunch that Veronica nailed it in one take. The short was a official selection at the 2014 LA Indie Film Festival. Check out Veronica’s official website for the full scoop on her.
