About Saturday started with a feeling that all my friends who struggled with something chose to «suck it up». When you ignore those feelings they grow out of control, and I wanted to make a series about how leaning on your friends can be the key to dealing with them. But also how hard it is to know what to do as a friend when you´re being pushed away.
The goal of About Saturday is to inspire new conversations about consent by portraying a sexual assault we rarely see on the screen. Assaults of this kind are more common, but less violent and harder to define. I want to show how they nonetheless can evoke strong reactions when you lose control with someone you initially trusted.
