Director's Statement:

​

It’s Just a Parcel is a comedy about a young woman’s fear of intimacy. It follows Maddy, a wide-eyed naïve young woman, who’s promiscuous flatmates challenge her fears of sex and physicality through raunchy echoes and topics of conversation. This accompanied with a mysterious unidentified parcel that arrives at their shared house, leads Maddy to obsessed over concealing the contents of the box from others, eventually leading to her taking the box with her wherever she goes and keeping it closer and closer to herself as the world around her takes a sexual turn. It’s Just a Parcel is a conversation around the pressures young people face from sex and being sexually confident. Maddy’s flatmate’s promiscuity and comically surreal confidence when it comes to sex leads to Maddy becoming very gloomy and on edge. This leads to a final honest conversation between the flatmates discussing the insignificance of sex through the metaphor of the unopened box. The much needed conversation encourages Maddy to open the parcel in the intimacy of her own room and simultaneously; she opens up to the idea of sex.
