Documentary of a Lost Girl Sneak Peek: Finding Louise Brooks
http://www.documentaryofalostgirl.com/ Documentary of a Lost Girl, due to be completed in May 2018, is a film that seeks to uncover the life of the late Louise Brooks by examining every facet of what's been left behind; the filmmakers have visited the places she's lived, spoken with her old friends and relatives, and have visited archives around the country to discover the woman who gifted us with such a beautiful, adventurous, and rebellious story.
Self-educated through reading the classics, she analyzed and identified the gender inequalities that plagued women in the hollywood industry, exposing the sexual misconduct of power-hungry producers through poignant articles and essays. her pseudo-autobiography, lulu in hollywood, shook the idea of tinseltown to its core.
She lived her life the way she wanted to, constantly challenging anyone who dared to stand in her way. She spent her final years painstakingly preserving her legacy through writing. It has since been distorted by social media and the male gaze (hi, laura mulvey!). We think louise deserves the truth, we are here to make sure she gets it.
Louise was a powerful, complex woman, and we are confident that her story will change your life. It has already changed ours.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
“Most beautiful dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren’t much smarter.”
