Her First

2019 · 75 min

A thoughtful, personal documentary that feels like a road trip conversation with mentors, warm and reflective but quietly frustrated by industry barriers.

Overview
Two film school graduates intimidated by the gender stereotypes that pervade film industry decide to make a documentary to explore the issue. The two women spend two years shooting, make 5000 kilometers, talk to established women directors and record every moment of this journey of discovery and self-discovery. But the real journey is just about to begin.
