'Other Girls' is a short film by Louise Bartolotta starring Kadijah Raquel and Arin Maclaine. The film was shot summer 2019 in Poughkeepsie, NY.
18-year-old best friends Cleo and Isla don't take anything seriously, but their 'who cares' attitudes often land them in sticky situations.
'Other Girls' is a DIY film and was a fun summer passion project. The film is a tribute to my high school experience and my hometown of Poughkeepsie NY. I wanted to capture the feeling of being a teen struggling with the fear of connecting to others, even the people closest to us.
