AISLES

Written by Emma Axelrod

Directed by Tessa Slovis

Naomi would rather be in an unsatisfying, unfulfilling relationship than alone. Aisles examines the damaging and fruitless attempts of one young woman to derive validation and self-worth from the men in her life, as so many young women are conditioned to do.
