The Girls Bathroom

Mission Statement: We are aiming to highlight Birmingham's talent/creatives  on and off screen 

Ever wondered what really goes on in the girls' bathroom? Why do women always go in groups? The Girls' Bathroom is a female-led comedic short film that dives into the hilarity, chaos, and unspoken sisterhood of public bathrooms on a night out. It’s a celebration of girlhood, unexpected bonds, and the hilarious, heartwarming support women show—even in the midst of drunken mayhem.

On a wild night out, Lauren and Alisha find their friendship on the line when a tampon disaster leaves them in a panic—and trapped in a club bathroom with a group of clueless, drunken and berserk women. Chaos, awkward truths, and unexpected revelations ensue in this hilarious, high-stakes bathroom showdown.
