“Legacy”
directed by: Margo Weathers
Legacy was created in an attempt to not only raise awareness of some amazing historical women, but to also expand the definition of the Documentary. Like the real women it depicts, it boldly asks that we look past surface appearance to find there is so much more. With evocative fragments of visual and verbal brevity, the film entices and encourages further investigation by the viewer; to serve as fuel for these women’s rankings in internet searches.

We drew a comparison between suiting up for war and preparing for a wedding day and showed flash backs of the dress undergoing stress tests. This is a dress of a lifetime, the dress we wish we never had to make…

“The Open”
directed by: Kit Pilosof
The Open is about learning to embrace your anxiety through the notion of childlike play, instead of battling it. The film features a creative woman, a dancer, suffering from anxiety disorder. She battles her own anxiety on a tennis court in a match against herself. One side of the court represents her anxious state – she is trapped and not in control. The other side shows her in a state of childlike play – fearless, unafraid, joyful and free. She gradually learns to embrace her anxiety instead of battling it and it helps her to achieve. At the end of the film she is whole.
