The Shot

2012, 10 minutes

Beauty knows no limits.

In a world where beauty is a million dollar industry, anybody can fall victim for the media's lust for perfection. Sometimes, however, the quest for perfection in an individual can become an obsession, and an obsession that can have grave consequences, like those for 17 year old Leona Parker. Depressed and with no let-up in her battle of her reflection, she takes an overdose of sleeping pills, in a bid to end her own life and her suffering. Only by confronting her demons and accepting the looks God blessed her with, can she take a new shot at life, a life without vanity, a life without obsession, but a life with deep understanding and love.
