The Boyfriend Sweater

January 2024

A short film based by Nikki Mezaros on the age old curse known by all knitters - the curse of the boyfriend sweater. Production design and knitwear by Ellie O’Hern 

A textile artist, lukewarm about the girl she's been dating, learns about "the sweater hex"- the belief that if you make someone a sweater, it'll end your relationship- and decides to knit her a sweater instead of simply telling her how she feels. 

Premiered at the Bushwick Film Festival
