Teenage Girl World

Teenage Girl World is a short documentary that seeks to explore the intricacies and reclaim the narrative surrounding the teenage girl. Co-directors Jianna Justice and Emily Johnston embarked on this project because they were sick of thinking about creating art without actually doing anything. Both about to leave their teen years behind, the directors wanted to explore what being a teen girl means to different people in their lives. Interviews were done in Boston, MA as well as Atlanta and Athens, GA. Accompanying the mini-doc is music from the all-girl project Penny Lame featuring the two directors (http://pennylame.bandcamp.com/releases). Making this film has been an exercise in artistry, learning to take matters into your own hands, and growing up as an artist and a person.
