The Appraisal
2025

Short Film

Inspired by theatre plays, The Appraisal tells a story of two women who meet at a house appraisal. Grace's estranged mother has recently passed away and she is now selling her valuables. Carol arrives to take stock of everything, and soon discovers there's more to the story. The Appraisal shows the two women at a point in their lives where much of the real story has happened before the actual appraisal.
