Congratulations to director Mandi Lynn for winning the Emerging Filmmaker of the Year from the Women's Voices Now Film Festival in LA for her short documentary Finding Venus! The film, produced by Carrie Thiel, and has been accepted into DOCEDGE and 5 other festivals so far.
When Mandi Lynn, New Zealand’s 2017 Creative Photographer of the Year asks women to pose topless for a 600-strong photography exhibition, women from all walks of life expose their ingrained body shame and personal body wars in a giggle-inducing, heartstring-tugging documentary.
"Thank you to every person who helped me as an unexpected filmmaker starting in my 50's pull this off. Making this film was harder than giving birth and I have my hats off to everyone in the industry that continues to push and slog to make sure that powerful stories are told. I had NO idea how challenging it is. Now I do. And I'm hooked" - From Mandi Lynn
