“When I was at college I had one teacher in particular who would say ‘other teachers are training you to be the wives of doctors. I’m training you to be a doctor.’”In Women in Parallel, Gianna Gomez (Mentor: Max Gardner) explores the connections between her life and that of Sandy Warshaw-  an activist who took part in the Feminist Movement of the 60’ -  to find that problems from decades ago are still prevalent in society today.“Growing up, I would associate masculinity with power. As I grew older, I found that I could be girly and I could also be strong and independent and all these things that I am,” said Gianna, a graduate of the Spring 2016 Lab, “and I would no longer see masculinity as the only way to be powerful.”Reel Works presents "Movie of the Week" to showcase the exemplary films made by our young filmmakers.
