THROUGH THE BLINDS
An anthology feature film that chronicles the pitfalls of a home through the eyes of seven women over the decades.
Through The Blinds is a collection of seven intimate stories that take place under one roof – from the birth of the 1950s housewife to today’s career-focused millennial and everything in between – tying together the history & transformation of women’s experiences in the American suburban home.
Through The Blinds is led by a band of women filmmakers from marginalized groups that are determined to break down barriers and forge a path for their communities. Proper funding is a huge barrier for indie filmmakers. Through Kristine’s fellowship with Satellite Collective, the team aims to raise a sizable amount of tax-deductible donations to bring their vision to fruition.
