STITCHED

Directed By Lorena Lourenco

USA, India | Narrative | 15 min

Leela, a South Asian diaspora woman without a hometown or fixed identity, struggles to find love. A string of lackluster dates produces disappointing results: no one seems able to sufficiently code-switch to the various cultural terrains of her life. Upon learning that her former classmate, Kelly Kelley, is engaged to their childhood sweetheart, Leela decides to take action. Convinced that happiness lies in meeting the ‘right’ person—someone perfectly calibrated to her ever-changing sense of self—she decides to literally “frankenstein” an ideal partner, Sai.
