Bubblegum Ice Cream

By Tegan Dobrich, Huy Hoang

Bubblegum Ice Cream is a visually arresting exploration of girlhood and what its like dealing with the loss of innocence, presented through a surrealistic and high-concept lens. The film is designed to captivate viewers with its beautifully composed, clean shots that burst with color, femininity, and quirky surreal elements, creating an experimental narrative anchored in a robust conceptual foundation. The poetic script delicately delves into the impactful experience of reluctantly relinquishing one's youth as a young girl and grappling with the emergence of a new, often challenging reality.<br>This short film boldly addresses the sensitive topic of sexual assault, placing the strength of women and all survivors at the forefront. Through the lens of artistic liberation, we would like to take a proactive stance, weaving narratives that deserve to be heard in a way that emphasizes resilience, personal growth, and empowerment. Bubblegum Ice Cream becomes a platform for survivors to embrace and nourish their femininity, encouraging them to speak out against injustice even in the face of adversity.
