When 17 year old Frances imagines a peppy American cheerleader to boost her self esteem, more than her insecurities get axed in this dark, teen comedy slasher.

'Dressing Room' follows Margot, a burlesque dancer in the 1980s, struggling with the mounting pressure of being a woman performer. Due to looming realities she's facing in her personal life, as well as an unfavourable view of herself in comparison to her fellow dancer Penny, Margot worries about the future of her career. This short is where the male gaze, body image, womanhood, and the spotlight all come to a head.
