Short Film: Sonyae Elise – ApeShit

Some women have to be alone to recover from finding out their man was cheating on them. In the short film ApeShit, Sonyae Elise shows the story of the woman that sticks around to get her revenge.

Months ago Sonyae Elise released her album S(he)’s Br(o)ken via soundcloud. The album was all about dealing with the pain of finding out the love of her life was cheating on her. In her interview with Noisey, she reveals that her ex-boyfriend was so reckless with his cheating that her sister spotted him in the theaters with another woman hours after they’d had a big argument. After putting all of her pain in SBHO, ApeShit was the continuation of the story.

“And then I’ve found myself in, I’ve only been in one relationship in my whole life. It was for like almost a decade, and it was serious. He’s older than me. I kind of always say he broke me to fix himself, because I’m like wet behind the ears and wildly in love and kind of like got the purest love for this guy because I’ve never been in another relationship. He’s an incredible guy, just maybe not such a good boyfriend. So out of that relationship came She’s Broken, and then spilled over into ApeShit. If you listen to She’s Broken, ApeShit is like the sequel kind of, but there’s no visuals to She’s Broken.”- Noisey

Along with the film, there’s an 11-track ApeShit album with songs that are just as emotional as the movie.

Would you get revenge on your man for cheating or would you just leave him?
