Winner of the Outstanding Screenplays Award, Egg Timer is a sharp, comedy, short film directed by Rosie May Bird Smith and produced by Hattie Jackson, in collaboration with Biscuit Filmworks, Outstanding Screenplays.
As Megan faces her 30th birthday, the pressure to have children reaches new heights – not least from her own opinionated ovarian eggs.
The film follows Megan (Ella Bruccoleri) as she navigates the mounting societal expectations of turning thirty – only to find that the loudest voices of pressure come from within. Her outspoken eggs, voiced by Kerry Godliman, Polly Kemp, Lauren O’Rourke, Kate Robbins, and Alison Spittle, offer brutally honest commentary on her every decision.
Balancing laugh-out-loud humour with heartfelt insight, Egg Timer shines a light on the anxieties surrounding fertility, timelines, and choice.
Egg Timer had its World Premiere at the BAFTA qualifying Rhode Island International Film Festival.
