For the past few months or more I have been working along with my dp Stephen Leon on what is to be a great movie experience! The movie I've been losing lots of sleep over (in a good way) is entitled 'Beautiful Women Wake Up Early'. It's an experimental piece, with no dialogue, cut to the music of Chopin and possibly another famous composer. It's a movie hard to explain for the most part but it's main themes are Vanity, Death, Image, Persona. All this and more depicted by some of the most wonderful actress' alive...
This is the first time I'm directing a all women cast. Very exciting, very intense, very important. In the times we live in where media for many years has been telling us this is how you, women, should look, this is how you should dress, this is how you should feel, and this is what is going to happen when you reach this age, etc...the movie brings these things up and challenges the audience one way or another.
This is a very important movie to me because it's going to speak universally to women of different backgrounds and I want to stir up discussions about how women in society is looked at and treated in our present time...
