A ten minute monologue short where a young woman’s innermost thoughts are laid bare totally captivates in Mat Sheldon’s The Electricity in Me. The story being told is that of a young woman who upon discovering she is pregnant by her professor, a man she refers to as “my monster”, finds herself in the UK where she makes the decision to give her newborn son up for adoption. The film’s visceral stream of consciousness comes directly from the diaries and letters of Writer/Director Sheldon’s birth mother, Joan Stockdale, whose thoughts and feelings he has crafted into an emotionally captivating film about a woman he never knew directly but whose creativity, refusal to conform and loyalty are clearly apparent. The Electricity in Me is a film also driven by a superb performance from award-winning actor Ellora Torchia whose embodiment of the role devastatingly shines through the screen.
