MY FIRST FILM

MY FIRST FILM- 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “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.

9/5/24- Too early for extensive reviews but some are ok. TRDB.
