Support Maggie Siffâs First Lead Role in a Movie
Who Cares About Actresses is so excited to announce the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for Elisabethâs movie, A Woman, A Part. It is Elisabethâs debut feature narrative film, as well as Maggie Siffâs first leading role in a movie. Maggie stars alongside Cara Seymour (The Knick, Adaptation, Hotel Rwanda, An Education), John Ortiz (Silver Linings Playbook, Togetherness) and Khandi Alexander (Scandal, Treme, CSI Miami). The film is the story of a transformational moment in the life of a successful actress, Anna Baskin (Siff), in the midst of an emotional, physical and professional crisis. While telling the story of her attempt to return to the New York theater community and her friends she turned her back on a decade earlier, the film meditates on a broad range of critical and personal issues, including sexism in the film industry, gentrification, addiction, autoimmune disease, burnout, Â and the role of actresses in society.Â
Who Cares About Actresses was made to explore what it means to be a woman who acts, and A Woman, A Part does just that through the story of Anna Baskin. WCAA begs for more inclusivity in media, more women and people of color on and off screen, and we uphold the few movies and tv shows that actually achieve this. AWAP reflects the values of WCAA, featuring a cast that is majority women (shockingly rare) and a very diverse crew in terms of race and gender (also, almost unheard of.)Â
Of the film, Elisabeth writes: âOf all possible women characters, how did I ever end up writing about an actress? Having spent two decades making films and art about womenâs experiences from a feminist perspective, I realized that actresses are the ultimate representation of women â they tell our culture who and what a woman is, what she wants and feels. The irony is that actresses rarely have any say in the parts they play, so their representations are rarely their own. I was interested in the story of a woman struggling to take control of her representation, and trying to rewrite her own life by facing her past.âÂ
