M Soup, (2023) by Stephanie Mavi Garcia Panclas (SMGP), is their first experimental short film. M Soup, follows the character ‘M’ played by SMGP themselves, in which they play around with appearing hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine. This experimental short film can have as many layers as there needs to be or none at all. The goal is for it to be visually confusing and jarring yet have bits and pieces of meaning.

Quote by SMGP: "This was actually my first project for my RTV class. It was my first time using a DSLR on my own, my first time using a tripod and premiere pro. I had no experience before this, so it does hold a place in my heart. It's simple and sweet. The theme was "Spatial Abandonment," and I wanted to showcase my room so I tried to incorporate a variety of shots. Completing this short project genuinely inspired me to keep going because I felt so proud to say 'I did this, by myself'".

I am working on the full version since this was originally made for an assignment. Looking back, I'm a little embarrassed, but this is essentially my first "narrative" project of many to soon come, haha. I will always hold this corny little thing near to my heart, and I hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for the full version, and maybe you can see how much I've improved.
