SCREENPLAY – Welcome to the family, hun
A 6-page portrait short following a middle-aged woman involved in an MLM scheme. Through a series of small interactions and moments, the audience gradually learns about her position within the system and her emotional dependence on it.
She appears to be struggling, seeking warmth, validation, and a sense of community through the group she belongs to. At the same time, she is actively trying to recruit new members, continuing the cycle by persuading others to join for her own benefit. The story reveals both her vulnerability and complicity, showing how she is caught between emotional need and exploitation.
