Beauty
The doors are closed. There are no more screenings of this film.
Synopsis: We are bombarded today through magazines, television shows, commercials, and movies of what women should look like, how they should act, and things they should do to be considered attractive. This is my expression of how I feel about this intrusion in a dark humored, experimental documentary.

Director's Statement
Every person on this Earth should feel beautiful no matter how they look. Society has no right to tell us what beauty is. It’s about controlling your looks, feelings, and actions by constantly beating the thoughts into your beautiful brain that you aren’t worthy through all the media we consume daily. Embrace every imperfection! Maybe if we were less focused on how we should be, everyone could look in the mirror without cringing. Beauty is a film created as an experimental documentary to express my feelings about what beauty truly is.
