Film Synopsis

'Yeast' is a film about a maddeningly un-self-aware, tyrannical and emotionally stunted young woman trying to negotiate two toxic friendships. With a physical aggressiveness and emotional violence that is surprisingly, yet undeniably, feminine in nature, 'Yeast' explores the grinding mechanics of friendships that have run their course. Relations between these young women aren't just a little bit ripeÉthey are Ebola-infested, maggot-filled and bursting at the seams.

Plot Summary

'Yeast' is a film about a maddeningly un-self-aware, tyrannical and emotionally stunted young woman trying to negotiate two toxic friendships. With a physical aggressiveness and emotional violence that is surprisingly, yet undeniably, feminine in nature, 'Yeast' explores the grinding mechanics of friendships that have run their course. Relations between these young women aren't just a little bit ripeÉthey are Ebola-infested, maggot-filled and bursting at the seams. Conceived and made by an actor with no concept of the language of filmmaking, 'Yeast' takes traditional dramatic structure and throws it out of the window to be swept away by the street cleaners.


Mary Bronstein (ne Mary Wall), co-starred in 2007's award winning and critically acclaimed film, 'Frownland.' 'Yeast' is her first stab at direction. Mary is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied acting, and also holds advanced degrees in psychology. In addition to acting in various projects, she runs a therapeutic play program for hospitalized children. She lives in Brooklyn and is currently looking for parts while planning her second, third and fourth turns at directing.
