This is a portait of three women who live in one house and create art.
I'm not going to say a great deal on this film. Not because it's bad but because you need to meet these ladies yourself. They are absolutely joys to sit and listen to. I don't want to ruin the stories.
What I absolutely love about this film is that this is the best sort of documentary, one that doesn't do anything and just lets the story/subject tell itself. In this case Katie Jacobs simply turns on the camera and just lets the ladies go. There are no bells and whistles, there is simply great story telling. Jacobs knew the way to make us fall in love with her subjects was just introduce us.
I'm not selling the film short. There is a great deal going on here. Not only is this a look at artists, but its also a wonderful look at women who fought like hell to simply get by. Yes, they wanted to make art but they had to fight to do so because of their gender.
What a delight.
If you want to see one of the hidden gems of DOC NYC the see this film.
