In late 2020, Eva Victor moved to rural Maine during the pandemic after their acting gig was put on hold. Reflecting on personal trauma, specifically sexual assault, Victor aimed to create a film, Sorry, Baby, which serves as a portrait of healing. The film challenges traditional representations of trauma, often seen in the #MeToo context, by portraying individuals as complex rather than simply victims. Acclaimed at Sundance and Cannes, Sorry, Baby reframes trauma as a multifaceted experience, encouraging audiences to engage with the complexities of healing in a nuanced manner.
