Betty & Mary
The award-winning Betty & Mary Trilogy is a parallel universe of films. With disturbing comedy and deep emotional nuance, these films claim space for every woman who refuses to be cast aside.
A middle-aged actress grapples with a fading career and aging body while preparing for a laughably low-stakes audition, only to be interrupted by a younger rival.
“Betty & Mary: The Actors Prepare is a thoughtful, relatable exploration of aging, womanhood and vulnerability...that classic show of solidarity and empathy that so many will do without thinking, something that’s even more valuable in today’s society that’s increasingly filled with selfish and uncaring behaviour.” ★★★★ — Rebecca
After murdering their sleazeball boss and blowing up their workplace, two dysfunctional strippers — one jaded, one guilt-ridden — try to lay low, shake off the hangover, and figure out if their new neighbor with wings is here to help...or just judge the shit out of them.

Indie Shorts Mag Reviews Betty & Mary as "Short of the Day"
“Baron deftly cycles through tonal shifts, balancing tender and heartfelt moments with humor, absurdity, and even elements of horror. The script tells an intimate story of two professional rivals while ruminating on a woman’s struggle to survive in the cutthroat world of acting.” ★★★★★ — Katie Chew
