From heartwarming tales to raw and honest portrayals, these 4 cinematic gems capture the joys, challenges, and profound moments that are unique to the experience of motherhood.
✦ Mamma Mia (2008) is a Broadway to film adaptation about a messy mother/daughter relationship who are thrown into a trip abroad to grow closer together.
✦ Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) is about a middle-aged Chinese immigrant woman who is thrust into an interdimensional adventure that forces her to look at her life and family relationships as a mother and a daughter in a new light.
✦ Miss Juneteenth (2020) is an endearing story of a struggling single mother and former Miss Juneteenth (Nicole Beharie) who wants her young daughter (Alexis Chikaeze) to have more in this life than mere dreams deferred.
✦ Precious (2009) took home several awards with it`s raw commentary on the impacts of poverty on young mothers and the empowerment that comes with education and support.

Join us Tuesday, May 14th for our next virtual Power Hour! Professor Marilyn Horowitz leads screenwriters, filmmakers and storytellers through her new creativity and time-management technique known as Word of the Day - an effective practice to generate and recognize story ideas, organize and structure those ideas, and explore the characters in your story in a short period of time. Participants will be asked to use pen/pencil and paper (not typing, for example) to harness your mind-body intentions. RSVP at the link in our bio! #writersofig #screenwritersofig #wordoftheday
