In this episode of The Reel Girl's Club, I sit down with Writer & Director Rosie May Bird Smith to talk about her brilliantly surreal short film Egg Timer - a dark comedy that turns the pressure of the biological clock into a bold, hilarious, and chaotic cinematic experience.Rosie shares how the idea came to life, her process for creating eye-catching practical effects, and how she used humour and absurdity to explore deeper personal themes about womanhood and fertility.We also dive into her beginnings as a director of commercials, writing to briefs and creating treatments for brands such as Andrex, Asda, Durex and Muller Light, finding your creative voice as a filmmaker and much more.In this episode:The inspiration behind Egg TimerWhy surrealism and comedy are powerful tools for female storytellingBehind-the-scenes details from the film's productionHow to use your creative voice while working to a brief for huge brandsWhether you're an emerging filmmaker, a film lover, or just someone who's ever felt "the clock ticking", this conversation, and Rosie's film Egg Timer is just for you.For more information, find Rosie's website here: Rosie May Bird SmithProduction company: Biscuit Filmworks - Rosie May Bird SmithRosie's Instagram: Rosie May Bird Smith (@rosiemaybirdsmith) • Instagram photos and videosEgg Timer Instagram: Egg Timer (@eggtimerfilm) • Instagram photos and videosRosie's Vimeo: Rosie May Bird Smith - Director & ScreenwriterRosie's IMDb: Rosie May Bird Smith - IMDbRosie's LinkedIn: Sign Up | LinkedInDirectors Notes: Egg Timer by Rosie May Bird Smith // Comedy // Directors Notes
