Film Analysis: Below Her Mouth
My experience filming was great. I love the work of immersing myself into different roles. This particular one, Candy, has a risqué element, and I have to say that I am pleased with my work and how it came out. Everyone involved was a passionate filmmaker and a professional.

Dark Harvest had a world premiere at the Portland Film Festival, and just won the Best Picture at the Oregon Independent Film Festival. Yaaay!!

Yes, I am also in Below Her Mouth, which just had a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff). Congratulations to everyone involved once again!

Everyone knew each other and was relaxed, but at the same time the women were exhausted, happy to have a break and naturally sad, as it was the end of filming.

If you notice I said "the women," which takes me to the most important part of my answer. Working on Below Her Mouth was special, because it was an all-female production, from the writers, producers and director to the entire crew. I believe this might be the first time in the history of Canadian filmmaking and I am so proud of all of us - #womeninfilm.

As you may have heard, this film contains a lot of nudity and sexuality, which is shot raw and real-life like. The director, April Mullen, along with the wonderful creators, Stephanie Fabrizi and Melissa Coghlan, wanted to honestly express a women’s view of intimacy, honesty, lust and sex, love and what really turns women on, and they succeeded. At no point during the shoot did I feel uncomfortable, objectified or embarrassed, which is a lot to say being given the fact that I was practically bare throughout the entire

Without my strong drive, I would be probably still sitting in my pink chair at home and day dreaming instead of making things happen and living the artist life in full swing, which by the way comes with a lot of downs as well. I don’t act every day. I still have a "joe job" to make sure I have a steady income and can pay bills, etc. Fortunately, it is still in the film industry, so I never feel out of touch or

    Traditional definitions of Women’s Film connote explorations into the emotional journeys of women as they encounter internal and/or external challenges. In this way, analysis of Women’s Film is sometimes aided by comparing the female characters to the men within the stories. The male characters in My Brilliant Career and Jindabyne are presented as failures and defeated heroes in many ways, when they are matched up against Sybylla and Claire who are “instinctively more sensitive/emotional”1 and far more determined and passionate about ‘righting the…

    “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri” quickly became one of the most controversial movies of last year. People could agree on about one thing, Frances McDormand was great, but other than that disagreement arose over every facet of the movie. Despite that divisiveness, the film garnered seven Oscar nominations, looking like a frontrunner for best picture. I would not have minded if it had won.…

    Candide Video Project

    In general, the filming was fun and entertaining, most of the retakes occurred because of wrong lines, or in the “picking up girls” scene, because of giggling. Me and Sathvik had the more major roles in the video, with Sathvik having the most and appearing on every scene, but I feel as though no one was left out at least in that aspect. When all the scenes were filmed I told Atul to send me all the files, so I could get started on them when I got home right away. I had some complications since Atul didn’t send me all the files I needed, and he would also refuse to send the raw video files, but used a link instead, which lowered the video quality and made it harder to download to my computer. After finally getting those things sorted out I got to work putting the clips together and editing intros, transitions, music, sound effects, etc. I used a program called Hitfilm Express 2017 which I had used on other projects before, the program is free, professional, and most importantly, easy to use. I got a very strong rough…

    Bored off my mind one night, I decided to pop the DVD in and have a look with my cousin. Both her and I agreed it was one of the best movies we had ever seen! We loved every character, we thought it was so well done, and the plot was just amazing. There is not one girl that can not relate with this movie because relating to one or more of the female characters is so easy and comforting. This is probably the reason male critics gave it such a harsh review because the movie entails women being intelligent, not always choosing men or marriage, and worst of all being independent.…
