The Other Woman The Other Woman

Director: Matthew Sanger

Year: 2007

A car idles at the end of a dirt track, its headlights pointing out into the forest. Inside: two women. The Redhead has a gun. She idly, but dangerously, holds it on the Blonde girl beside her. Redhead does most of the talking. Blonde's eyes dart in quiet fear as she hears about what her 'faithful' man has been up to. With Redhead. Not just sex, but business. Lucrative. And criminal. He's not the man Blonde thought he was. Jesus, that's an understatement. Is Redhead telling the truth? Is Blonde in this situation simply because Redhead changed her mind and doesn't want to share the spoils of the last job they did together? A simple hostage handover? Or is it even simpler: Redhead wanted him all to herself and he said no. Revenge. Either way, he's late arriving. And Redhead's trigger-finger is beginning to twitch.
