GREAT BRITAIN | 86 minutes | 2018

A group of young women are thrown into the enchanting yet dangerous world of a reality show, where they are forced to live in a dollhouse-themed set and compete with each other to survive. Behind its outrageous bubblegum-pink aesthetic where the conventions of art are subverted, Rachel MacLean’s feature takes a scathing look at the issues related to contemporary female identity. Funny, horrifying and political, the Scottish multimedia artist’s film is a savage screed against a totalitarian patriarchy and an era when self-image is dictated and regulated by the media.
CANADIAN PREMIERE

In collaboration with Celleuloid.

"Rachel MacLean's Make Me Up is a pastel horror satire for the #metoo age." Syfy
"Horror meets animation meets children's fantasy gone sour." Syfy
