The trailer follows the story of Williams’ character, who is seen begging, screaming in pain and crying, setting the scene for what could be a tough story about the experiences of victims of rape, and how the incident continues to affect their lives years after it happened.
“Rape is every kind of theft. Working on my short film directing debut – Orange Bowl – has marked the beginning of a personal journey for me; telling the stories that need to be told, while paying intentional attention to filmmaking as an art,” Fedworks said in an Instagram post announcing the trailer on Monday, June 3, 2024.
