Anna Keyes discusses the textured and representational aspects of her films, her process of self realization and the embodiment of her womanhood through online community, her family and being out in the world; owning her process as well as recognizing the tension of "passing" as an ideal. Identifying puberty as a "process of coming in to one's own humanity," Anna examines the experience of her second puberty as girlhood into womanhood. (Summary by Kirsten Adorian)
