Overdrive Abigail Wilson
Abigail Wilson is a London-based writer/director and actor, who possesses a keen eye for the peculiar, a passion for the eccentric, and an innate talent for humour.
In the film, Abigail explores the monthly battle women with PMDD can face, as two versions of herself grapple over a vehicle that is racing out of control. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a severe form of PMS characterised by intense emotional and physical symptoms significantly impacting daily life before menstruation. Affecting 1 in 20 people who menstruate, symptoms include severe mood swings, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Up to 30% of those affected attempt to take their own life. It takes on average 12 years to receive an accurate diagnosis and is often misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder.
