Inspired by how my parents first met in May of 1977, Keel follows a young woman standing at a quiet crossroads in her life. The choices she faces and the feelings she wrestles with, desire, uncertainty, self-doubt, are as relevant now as they were then.

Through this film, I aim to capture that tender moment when a girl begins to understand herself not just in relation to others, but on her own terms. In doing so, I hope to reflect the resilience, vulnerability, and quiet power of women navigating their own emotional awakenings.
