Abstract/Artist Statement
Penny is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder, and is confronted about her many “alters” that seem to be running her life. This performative short film, shares the journey of a young woman suffering with a rare disorder. The thrilling aspect is, who will she be next? Not even she knows. Creating this story, and bringing it to life has been an amazing experience. Writing, directing, and acting in this film has been a challenge, but also an amazing feat of growth for my creative outlet. I am inspired by great performers like Meryl Streep and Lucille Ball, and trying to capture just a piece of their brilliance in my own performance is the ultimate goal in this film for me.
