Short Summary

 

Hi, my name is Noemi Torres, and I’m the writer/director of ‘Petals,’ a drama about a teenage girl reliving a Groundhogs Day traumatic experience caused by the sexual assault from her partner.

The main message of this film is we cannot change our fate, no matter how painful and saddening it may be. From feelings of emptiness and battling an internal struggle, especially after a traumatic event, it’s hard to heal and move forward with life, constantly feeling stuck and guilty for something out of your control. Through the continuation of time, you can re-learn how to smile, have hope and heal once again.

Born and raised in Miami, film, and makeup has always been my passion. I primarily do makeup and special effects, and I have been working in film since the summer of 2019. I have been considering switching things up and escaping from my comfort zone!

The Impact


This project is significant to me and is essentially my passion that I would love to share with you. I’ve had this idea for a while now, based on actual events of me reliving my nightmares from my own sexual assault. I want the viewers to feel the same emotions our protagonist feels due to sexual assault in media not being represented or portrayed enough; I want to make a change.
