​
It's a smart, low-budget bridge between theory and pop culture, funny and devastating at the same time.
Philadelphia City Paper
Videomaker Braderman uses her own body as the site for exploring the ways our own culture of appearances meets the politics of identity. "She looks at life through rose colored glasses, then whips them off and dishes the dirt: movies meet life, life meets death and romance meets Perdue chicken in this meditation on our illicit VCR pleasures. Watch and eat your heart out.
