LAUNDRY CARD is a short film about a young, troubled girl who's struggling to find her own voice in the world. Through boxing she finds a way to overcome her weaknesses and fights for her goals.
With this film I want to show people how much they can change by simply making more courageous choices. My goal is to inspire my audience, to let them know they're not alone and that we should never give up without a fight. What keeps us going is not the fear of failing, but the fear of not taking risks.
