“Fragile” A Short Film Depicting The Low Country Woman Entrepreneur’s Journey Through COVID-19 Released By Woman-Owned Film Company In Charleston
Ten women-owned businesses in Charleston, South Carolina, coming together. A global pandemic. One story. “Fragile” depicts countless Charleston women entrepreneurs’ emotional journeys and strength through these COVID-19 times. The film was directed by Chief Cat Herder/Lead Filmmaker Shelby Ring of Ruby Riot Creatives, collaborating with Dance Lab Charleston founder, Jenny Broe.
“We may not look the way we did before COVID-19, we may not do business the way we did before COVID-19, but we’re better because of it”, says Shelby Ring, film director and lead cinematographer of this piece. “We’re stronger because of the resistance and challenges we’ve gone through, and I think if there’s anything this time has shown us —it’s that as women, we can absolutely handle anything life throws at us.”
The short film is set to Tech N9ne’s “Fragile” – a hip hop song released in 2013 and features five dancers and five local woman entrepreneurs depicting the emotional ups and downs of COVID-19. The dancing sequences were filmed at the historic Cedar Room off East Bay Street in downtown Charleston.
