Ingrid Gagg works from home as a call centre manager.
She is single, wants to be pregnant, grieving her mum, testing her own wee wee and not getting on with her dad. Or any of the damned patriarchy for that matter.
We sit with our Lady Gagg as she wakes up, does the daily make-up, sits at her home office desk and tries to enjoy the job. She calls people all day and night - for monies owed, for surveys or for accidents - and manages her online team.
Yet with her Dad and the pick-ups she enjoys the conversation is stilted and blocked. What is there to say when men know everything?
She loves a bit of bird-watching though - and tries to take the natural approach when mysterious medical and mental issues arise.
With appearances and co-operation from real doctors and African herbalists alongside genuine phone conversations on women's experiences, Lady Gagg discovers the global unfairness of women's health.
Here the 4K is augmented with vintage lenses and natural light to create a focus-plane metaphor à la Deleuze - in Mal's approach to developing a female gaze. Developed from an idea by feminist dramaturg and lecturer Kelly Casey, the movie grew as it was made, bringing ideas and locations together over a few weeks,... then filmed during a four day heatwave.
