Rumors spread like wildfire in a small Chilean town as an aborted fetus is found floating in a lake. A conservative saleswoman’s values are put to test when she discovers the culprit to be one of her young female clients.

The project finished principal photography November 2021 in Villarrica, Chile.

So They Say premiered at the Oscar-qualifying festival, Palm Springs ShortFest and shortlisted for the BAFTA Yugo Student Awards.
