Adulting is hard. Fixing the faucet should be easy… right?
In Fix The Faucet, Violet finds herself trapped in a chaotic cycle of unfinished chores, emotional distractions, and complicated situationships. With her overbearing mother about to visit, she must finally face the ever-growing to-do list she’s been avoiding — starting with the faucet that’s been dripping for two months.
Blending sharp comedy with painfully relatable chaos, Fix The Faucet explores procrastination, modern dating, and the messy reality of trying to keep your life together.
Directed by Jennifer Gouchoe

Director’s Statement (Excerpt)
The inspiration for Fix The Faucet came from the chaos of balancing creative work, day jobs, and the constant pressure of adulthood. Like Violet, many of us cope with overwhelming responsibilities by avoiding them entirely — until they pile up.
Through humor and a relatable sense of everyday panic, the film explores how impossible perfection can feel, and reminds us that being a little messy is perfectly normal.
