Kate from Jules et Jim meets I Love Dick. A young woman filmmaker’s journey of self-discovery, set against a backdrop of the sexual liberation movement of the 1970s and 1980s.
In Portrait of an Artist as a Young Woman, we follow thirty-something Ana Fried as she faces the ultimate struggle: breaking free from her mother’s shadow while pursuing her dreams of becoming a filmmaker. After a series of failed romances and an unexpected dive back into her childhood home, Ana escapes to Mt. Abu, hoping to uncover the essence of the Indian goddesses for her film project. However, a bout of malaria sends her spiraling back to Scarsdale, where fever-induced flashbacks reveal her transformative college years at Yale during the sexual liberation of the 1960s.
Ana battles sexism in the film industry alongside her African American classmate, Diane. Their adventures take them from the New York art scene to the blues in Memphis and beyond, as Ana grapples with toxic relationships with men who derail her ambitions. As she navigates love, loss, and artistic pursuit, Ana’s journey culminates in Manhattan, where she must confront her fears and insecurities to finally bring "The Cyborg Goddess" film to life. Will this ambitious project not only redefine her career but also transform the way she views herself? Join Ana in a captivating tale of resilience, creativity, and the quest for identity.
