Works better if you see Martha Maycy May Marlene beforehand. I feel there could be more story. Some aspects would have been great to have it been included in the feature.

    Re: last sentence: like the process of inducing the girls into their group. Also, The more I think about it, the more I like it. Not perfect, but intriguing.

    It's a 14 min 'extra' on the Martha Marcy May Marlene DVD and a prequel to that film.

I remember seeing this one in Cannes, two years ago. It was good, especially the scene on the bridge, but the end was a bit disappointing. Good though.

    This is a prequel (the story of Corbet's character), but Martha Marcy May Marlene was written before this short. I think that's correct.
