BETSY is a quirky, bath-taking, cigarette-crazed woman whose morning routine is unlike most. Gatorade, swimming goggles, and ants on a log for breakfast are just a few of Betsy's true loves. It does not take much to bring her contentment. A visit to the gazebo in her local park leads to a joyful moment captured in a long take. Eccentric gestures, unconventional costumes, varied shot sequences, and exuberant movement combine to advance the filmic storytelling, allowing the viewer to feel a part of Betsy's journey.

FOR FEAR OF (OVERFLOW) is an exploration of the similarities between an overthinking mind and the act of containment. aiming to open our eyes to how slippery our own limits can become when closely examined, the use of juxtaposed timelines, falsities, and a constant desire for repetition and interruption lead to an eerie sense of confusion and restlessness—in both subject and spectator.
