Betty & Mary, a trilogy, is a parallel-universe of films. Featuring the same two characters, Betty and Mary, as they navigate unique challenges in circumstances beyond their control — shaped by systems of gender, class, age, and power. While those circumstances shift from film to film, what remains constant is an unflinching, brazen look at how women confront, outlast, subvert, or lay down to the systems that define them.

 

With disturbing comedy and deep emotional nuance, the trilogy amplifies the female experience and invites reflection on the double standards, erasure, invisibility, and expectations placed on women — especially those who are aging, ambitious, or shattering the template. These films ask: what happens when women are deprived of their agency, and what happens when they seize it? By daring to ask, Betty & Mary claims space for every woman who refuses to be cast aside.
