Two Things Are True

a documentary memoir now in production

In an attempt to confront childhood sexual trauma, the filmmaker decides to revise the abstract expressionist paintings of her deceased father. The project soon expands to involve collaborations with additional artists, revelations about other women still affected by their relationship with her father, the destruction of a devastating mythology, and healing through collaborative creative expression.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”

– Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
