No Mileage

Medellín, Colombia: events over the course of one tragic day play out in reverse-chronological order, as two teenagers come to terms with the repercussions of one mundane anticlimactic moment.

A 15-minute narrative short, No Mileage premiered at Oscar-qualifying Huesca International Film Festival in June 2018. The title refers to the nickname gangs in Colombia give to virgins: ‘zero kilometres’, but with imperialist connotations. The film’s overriding aim and message is to present to Western audiences the ongoing damaging effects of patriarchy and post-colonialism on the wider society.
