The Mail Lady is a dark comedic tale from a child's perspective. A statement about the importance of communicating with your children. Children will often make their parent's problems their own, become destructive, and sometimes self-destruct. With the satirical elements of our world in mind, director, Michelle Cutolo, plays with the disparity of a flawed household in a "perfect" suburbia. Unlike others, Billy doesn't seek attention, but confronts what he sees as the cause of the problem. A very grown-up thing to do for a little man, but dangerous when still learning about consequence. At the conclusion of the film, the stakes are high, because when a child loses their innocence, it's gone forever. The Mail Lady has elements of dark comedy, drama, and thriller, and intended to make you laugh, gasp, and horrified beyond measure.
