So far Victoria has written 2 feature length screenplays and 10 short films but has a terrible time sharing. Please keep bugging her constantly.

"What Does It Mean To Be An Empowered Woman?" Interview Series: Stephanie Farr

about 9 years ago

What does it mean to be an empowered female? In the last post of this series I spoke with casting director Donna Morong. Our third interviewee is Stephanie Farr, an artist, photographer, and founder of Project Reflect, an artistic initiative with a poignant message about mainstream media’s effect on children and morality.

Farr worked all over the globe in commercial photography, a career that opened her eyes to the systematic and pandemic commercial exploitation of people, especially children. Moved by her firsthand experiences and witnessing the objectification of women in media, Farr created Project Reflect, an interactive art installation challenging the viewer to reexamine information they digest daily—information that shapes them, yet is rarely questioned. When I caught up with Farr, she told me how she shifted her career to be a full-time artist spreading the message of empathy over exploitation.
