My First Film

“Picture a typical movie poster. One featuring a young woman looking away, like she's ready to leave. It's beautiful, and makes you want to watch it. Unfortunately, you never will.”

Fifteen years after her first attempt at a feature, Vita (Odessa Young) goes back to the shoot, a semi-autobiographical film starring her friend Dina (Devon Ross). She is eager and green, and the production starts to come apart around her, one disruption after another. Zia Anger, who drew on her own first film, tells it as a story Vita recounts.
