Violet, Justine Bateman's directorial debut, deals with the complexities of the subconscious, our harshest critic, through the story of 32-year-old Violet. The film has been released in select theaters and will be available on Video on Demand from November 9.
The protagonist and antagonist of the movie are the same person, Violet. The film explores the conflict between Violet and her inner voice, which constantly puts her down.
