A middle-aged husband and wife doing domestic chores together silently reflect upon each other and their marriage and decide whether to stay or leave. Created around and punctuated by an original piece of experimental music composed by avant-garde composer Yehuda Yannay.

Director Bio:

Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Debra delights in making short films of different genres, especially comedies, documentaries, experimental films, and music videos. She particularly enjoys small scale productions, which offer the utmost creative freedom for her as a writer, director, cinematographer, editor and/or producer--and is thankful to have garnered some awards along the way. Debra received an M.F.A. in Cinema/Television (Film Production Division) at the University of Southern California.

Director Statement:

Wedlocked is an unusual experimental film, not only for its soundtrack which is a standalone experimental piece composed by the avant-garde composer Yehuda Yannay, but because of its film structure. The story and script were created around the experimental music rather than having the music tailored to the film. It was an immense challenge. The result is an organic melding of the characters' inner lives with the expressive music--illustrating and punctuating their thoughts and actions. Enjoy this unique experience!
