Julia Aks and Steven Pinder's Oscar-nominated short film "Jane Austen's Period Drama" is a 13-minute comedy that uses a pun on "period" to satirize Regency-era ignorance about menstruation, with Emma Thompson serving as its "Executive Menstrual Adviser." The film follows a hero who mistakes the heroine's menstrual stain for a wound and hijinks ensue as her family decides whether to tell him the truth or let him continue his marriage proposal.
