You Are an Amazement
Semi-autobiographical, experimental narrative film tells the story of a woman growing up battling mental and emotional disability, but with a powerful drive for greatness. Based on stories from the lives of artists and friends, the work proceeds through a series of short monologues, animations and songs illuminated by images of insects, animals and landscapes.
