If you're a nervous type, you'll enjoy these short films. They'll make ya think, wet your eyes, and then maybe you'll find the strength to leave the house for the first time in weeks. ONE OF THESE SHORT FILMS FEATURES THE YOYO CHAMP KENNY "K-STRASS" STRASSER SO OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE BEST ONE.

True to its theme, this anthology of short films about women's mental (and emotional) health is visceral, cerebral, and dense with a variety of tones via different perspectives, ranging from bleak to hopeful; appropriately conveyed by maximizing the potential of surrealism in filmmaking! Truly excited to see where the trajectories for this film and some of the filmmakers' careers lead.
I was honored to catch this intriguing film at the Golden State Film Festival with a full house. A collection of short films that are woven together by a common theme - the mental and emotional struggles of women in the modern era - Her Mind in Pieces was thought-provoking, entertaining, challenging, and ultimately an unusual look into the modern mind. That the anthology was of short pieces by women only heightened the experience.
Check it out when you get a chance.

This is a film that everyone should see. This anthology of short films gives you a series of different perspectives on women in our society. It is not necessarily what you expect. Each short is well-written, well-acted, and more than worth watching.
Women take center stage in this collection of short films that are disparate in style, but similar in theme: that of women struggling to face fears, to communicate, to be understood, to understand themselves. Some tales are harrowing, some haunting, some absurdly comedic and some beautifully hopeful. The collective journey is well worth taking.

These stories hit the ground running. I was pulled in immediately for every one.
And just when I thought I knew what was going to happen next ... surprise!
All in all, it's just plain entertaining and FUN.
Her Mind in Pieces is one of the most thought-provoking films I've seen in a long time. And all the story lines are socially very relevant in today's world.
Kudos!

There is absolutely nothing like this film. It tackles many different mental health issues such as dementia, body dysmorphia, and postpartum depression in unique and powerful ways. It is an anthology of short films which, shown individually, would be profound, but assembled together are absolutely captivating and riveting. An important film for our time full of creativity, integrity, and true art.

Writer/Director Dawn Fields did an awesome job bringing to life and awareness in film for such an emotional topic. So well done!
