Hostile Exchange (2024) explores an often-ignored dynamic: one where women are conditioned to prioritize the needs of others above their own and unintentionally give away parts of themselves in the process. This new dark comedy contemporary western empowers everyone to recognize these patterns and show that women can reclaim their power at any time – as long as they’re willing to fight for it and themselves. Hostile Exchange is scheduled to run the 2025 festival circuit.
