The Iron Lace

This short film explores the 14-year evolution of a survivor. The story opens in 1868 as 18-year-old Sterling ignites her home to escape her abuser, transitioning into 1882 where she has transformed into the powerful matriarch of "The Iron Lace." The narrative follows a dual-timeline of "Action" from the explosive violence of a house fire to the quiet, agonizing suspense of a poison vial about to tip. It is a cinematic study of justified revenge and the underground network of women reclaiming their lives in the Old West.
