Cycle, 2023
Cycle is a 9-minute short film written by Amber Akhtar, following the story of a young woman who tries to wash out a blood stain after an abortion. Shot over three nights in Brooklyn with a women-led team, directing and editing this film was an affirming professional welcome to the world of indie film.
Cycle was featured at The Big Apple Film Festival, Nevada Women’s Film Festival, Grand Rapids Film Festival, East Lansing Film Festival, and BreakOut Media Festival in LA and will be released digitally in 2025
