Creature Companion

“A beguiling, perhaps radical, reinterpretation of femininity in American suburban life.” – MUBI

“What distinguishes Creature Companion even more decisively from Bass’s earlier films is its comparatively optimistic, liberatory tone…it explores a particular relationship with great sensitivity, but does so by charting an expressive path entirely its own.”  – Cineaste Magazine

Winner, Special Mention of the International Jury,  International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Germany

In the American suburbs, two women mysteriously and sensuously entwine in this slow-burning, saucy, abstracted fable on the longing and laboring female body.
