Synopsis

After being catcalled on the street, two friends Quin and Morgan decide to be badass bitches and take a women’s self defence class. Amped from the high of dodging knife attacks, escaping bear hugs and stomp-kicking in heels, they decide to join the regular Krav Maga classes at the club where they set their sights on Cameron, a handsome but unwitting instructor. But when they play flirty games at his expense, the question is raised, is there such a thing as “harmless” predators?

Self-defence classes are strange places. One minute you’re having a blast choking your best friend as you simulate being an attacker and the next, you’re roleplaying as an overdosing sex-worker. Mark Targets is a tragic and hilariously uncomfortable story about finding empowerment as a woman in a man’s world.
