Ida Joglar is a filmmaker, editor and video installation artist from San Juan, PR. She is currently based in New York City.

Synopsis:

After a late night in the laboratory where she works as a research assistant, Mayra has no recollection and suspects she has been sexually assaulted by her renowned boss. When she tells her friend about the incident, she is confronted with doubts. As time passes she becomes further distressed as she discovers she may have a power she never knew about. When she once again finds herself alone in the lab with her predatory boss, her power manifests itself to an explosive end.

Director’s Statement:

I wrote and shot this film long before the #MeToo movement, based on my personal experiences and those of my friends. I wanted to start a conversation, one that legitimized the experiences of smart women in male dominated fields. Today it feels even more important, to not let the cacophony of the media overtake women’s voices, to shift the conversation to be about empowerment.
