A creative short exploring transformation
Chrysalis, directed by Hungarian-Australian filmmaker Grace Julia, is a powerful two-minute exploration of transformation and resilience. Shot in Sydney, the film follows a woman, portrayed by Ebony Nave, reclaiming her strength after enduring narcissistic abuse. At the heart of every project Grace Julia directs is an empowering, female-led narrative, and Chrysalis is no exception. While it is a brief, experimental piece, Grace hopes its message will leave a lasting impression on viewers, inspiring them to embrace their own journeys of empowerment.
