LIVING INSIDE OUT
Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, Living Inside Out, is a short experimental documentary that explores the intense challenge of reentering society through the eyes of three formerly incarcerated women. The film intertwines the experience of Tricia, Chloe, and Noelani tracking their journey in the reentry process.
These women recount memories of incarceration, rehabilitation and their struggle to find a path back into the community. Using poetic visuals of public, intimate and desolate spaces, the film uses environments to explore the psychological and emotional impact of prison time. With deeply personal reflections on trust, recovery, building routine, food and the fear of going back, "Living Inside Out" shows the long lasting imprint of incarceration remaining with these three women, as well as the community, long after the prison door closes.

“There’s a lot of PTS, post-traumatic stress that goes with that, because whenever your freedom is taken away there is a complete loss of control and even if you are able to come out and get a job, and function, you know enter normal society, it is always in the back of your head.”
