On Beauty....

I watched this DOVE ad and loved every second. I thought about the power of the media, how we can send out positive messages, influence people in a GOOD way.... then I saw it on the Upworthy site - and I liked it - again! Same feeling, tearing up. Appreciating who I am and again, thinking of how what I can do as a filmmaker to change perceptions....

Then I started reading up on it... and found myself on a few feminist sites.... I read this article by Kaye Toal and another article.... and it all changed my mind.

It is still a nice ad, and I still think we can use something like this to make a positive difference... I just need to think about it a bit more.....

And how to apply it....
