I saw Jesse Epstein's animated short, The Guarantee, at Full Frame last year as part of a sneak peek with Jennifer Venditti's Billy the Kid (nominated for a Cinema Eye Honor for Outstanding Debut Feature). I was wild about Epstein's film and got to interview her about this piece, number two in a trilogy of shorts about body image she's producing and directing. The first film is called Wet Dreams and False Images. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the third.
Epstein has started to distribute The Guarantee to universities and high schools through the distribution collective, New Day Films. The short is accompanied by a free online study guide.
You can get more info, see the trailer, and read reviews of the film here. You can also click here to read my in-depth interview from last May with this very talented young filmmaker.
