ONE STORY. TWO MEDIUMS.
What began as one of the darkest chapters of my life became two expressions of the same story.

A Letter from Kendra
I never imagined one of the darkest chapters of my life would become the foundation for a film.
For years, I carried this story in silence. Making FLOSSY became an act of reclaiming my voice—not only for myself, but for anyone who has ever mistaken self-sacrifice for love.
My hope is that this film invites audiences to reflect on the ways we seek acceptance, the stories we tell ourselves to survive and what it truly means to choose ourselves.
