Dove: Girls Room
With Girls Room, I had the opportunity to conceptualize and creatively direct a social-first, scripted drama in partnership with Dove and Lena Waithe. Its focus was the power and pain of female adolescence, with the unique setting of the girls bathroom as the story’s framing device.
The Dove Self-Esteem Project has conducted years of research on body image, and we based our episodes on these core insights. During production, we coined the phrase “cinematically vertical” to describe the show’s combination of high-touch production with socially-optimized vertical dimensions.
Girls Room is the recipient of the 2020 Tribeca X Award for Best Series in the Tribeca Film Festival.
