ABOUT

Shot as part of the “Fem Goes Short” funding scheme, Brunhilde was my first narrative short film and the culmination of extensive YouTube research into so-called skinfluencers. Their online prevalence served as inspiration for an adaptation of Wagner’s “Ring of the Nibelung” with a pop-cultural twist.

Brunhilde’s invincibility is not owed to her supernatural powers, but to the meticulous skincare routine she follows every day. It is only when one of her admirers gains her trust by revealing his own vulnerability that her façade begins to crumble, and she starts questioning whether a solitary life is truly for her.
