Director to be in attendance! Victoria is just another girl running from abusive home to follow her dreams in New York. Instead, she ends up in cruel relationships mixed with drugs and abuse. While her personal life goes downhill, pressure of her surrounding becomes oppressing and damaging. When sober, she suffers major bouts of depression, so she writes as part of her therapy.Her imaginary life begins at her computer, where Jana is her Alter Ego and everything conforms to her fantastic ideal. But writing slowly becomes an obsession and loses all distinction from reality, her sensibility and confusion of this world progresses and her life starts deteriorating. She grows emotionally numb and even loses interest in her own writing, which turns morbid and becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Filmmaker to be in attendance WHAT I SEE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES is a clear-eyed look at how Phnom Penh's street children are being helped by Mith Samlanh/FRIENDS-INTERNATIONAL, an organization serving street living and working kids through the provision of vocational training, shelter, food, education, counseling, art classes and outreach. The children of FRIENDS tell their stories in their own voice in answer to the simplest of statements: What's My Name, How I Live, What I Want and Who I Am. Much of the film is told through the progress of the creation of life-sized self-portraits the children draw of themselves in answer to the question, 'What do you see when you close your eyes?'

Maryland offers a rich array of landscapes from which to choose - from the mountains in the west across the rolling hills and farmlands of central Maryland to the beautiful waterfront and sandy beaches of the Eastern Shore. Architecture that spans the centuries from colonial to modern and illustrates a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds can be found throughout the state.

Maryland has a deep crew base experienced in every guild and trade. Over 650 IATSE members, over 3000 SAG members, and film sensitive teamsters all make Maryland the place you're shooting for.
