“the ridge grave girls” is a short film is about the romanticisation and immortalisation of women through death.

this is a true story: evelyn mchale was a woman who jumped off the empire state building. her body crushed a car and a male photographer took a picture of her corpse. she was named the “most beautiful suicide”.

that’s the thesis which “the ridge grave girls” works off and satirises: the idea that women become the perfect feminine when they are framed in death. and that satire is conducted on a microscopic level, through the romanticisation of prom queens in a small town.
