Nearly 15 years later, Vita (Odessa Young), recounts making her first feature – a semi-autobiographical film about a young woman who gets pregnant and decides to leave home. Being an enthusiastic but inexperienced filmmaker the shoot is chaotic, and her ego-tripping methods destroy the production. As her “first film” falls apart, director Zia Anger stages a lyrical auto-critique that probes the nature of artistic truth and personal mythmaking.

Q&A with Zia Anger following screening. Moderated by Hailey Benton Gates, introduced by Daniel Schmidt.
