My Nose: The Bigger Version

About the project:

Looking one's best is one of life’s inescapable priorities.

But what do you do when YOU think you look good and YOUR MOTHER is convinced what you need more than anything else is a nose job?

My Nose is a personal documentary that will explore my mother's preoccupation with my nose . . . the intricacies of the mother/daughter relationship . . . and what drives people into the plastic surgeon's office.  

Will I live happily ever after with the nose I was born with? Will I end up having a nose job? And how will my decision affect my relationship with my mother and myself?

My Nose will reveal the complexities of a single woman living in a beauty-obsessed world with her original yet imperfect nose. It's a tale that anyone who has ever obsessed over their own "imperfection" will easily relate to. In other words, pretty much everyone!

Meet Albert Maysles, legendary filmmaker (Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens)
