A young woman fears she is losing her mind after her best friend disappears.
SynopsisHow well do you know your best friends? 'Golden Earrings' is a thriller about a young woman whose highly dependent relationship with her roommate is more than simple friendship. Ronnie and Sara are best friends and for Ronnie, more than friends. And when Sara disappears, Ronnie's world becomes unraveled as she copes with Sara's disappearance and her guilt over her own involvement. 'Golden Earrings' explores the fine line of friendship, love and dependency. Sometimes, the people you spend all your time with aren't the people you think they are.
Director's Statement"Golden Earrings" had been sitting on my desktop for about 4 years when I finally decided to make it. It's a story that I had wanted to tell for a long time and as things usually do, a certain number of things had to line up, in order for me to tell it. It was a complete labor of love and came together in the true spirit of indie filmmaking which is hardly any money, too much equipment for too little space, and shooting over 8 pages a night....every night...for the next 9 nights.
The idea of a relationship between two girls that's more than friendship but not quite romantic has always fascinated me because I've seen it happen so often between young women. And yet, I never really see it on film. Unless, it involves a lot of "sexual exploration" or the girls eventually murdering someone. But to see that type of relationship addressed in a more modest and realistic way, I thought would always be really interesting. And to explore the idea of how sometimes two people do not see their relationship in the same way. Even friendships.
"Golden Earrings" is a film that is really about what happens when the people we spend all our time with aren't really the people we thought they were.
