AWARDS & ACCOLAIDES
“Mel House performs Marie with a fierce sense of honesty that is a sight to behold... Wonderful animated and graphic elements add a stylistic flair to the pilot which really stood out. If you remember the movies Tank Girl or Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, this fun animation is similar to that...
It takes a team effort to make a project truly shine. The hard work of director Clarissa de los Reyes and cinematographer Niav Conty brought this project together with a cohesive and fun energy.” -OC Movie Reviews
“‘Hot Angry Mom’ intertwines elements of ‘Fleabag’ and ‘I May Destroy You,’ offering a raw portrayal of a mother’s life. It humorously yet powerfully guides the audience through Marie’s self-discovery, as she learns to acknowledge her anger and sexual power, aspects she was previously conditioned to suppress.”
-AndersonVision
“Tonally, Hot Angry Mom finds a good balance between the comedic nature of Marie’s story and finding authentic touchpoints to moments of rage women face every day. In turn, Mel House gives an empathetic performance in the serious moments without ever letting the comedy undermine her story.” -Film Threat
