Storyline

'Ugly' is a film that follows Colton Clements, a young man who goes on a journey to discover the emotional and psychological effects the media and advertising has over women. Colton sets out to discover why the media pushes an image of the 'perfect' woman, and what effect this image has on the mindsets of women who are exposed to it. On his journey he meets and interviews a modeling consultant, an anorexia survivor, a therapist, and 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle Ten winner, the plus-sized model Whitney Thompson.

Very Nice, Very Nice poster
Movie

Arthur Lipsett's first film is an avant-garde blend of photography and sound. It looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget. It is made of dozens of pictures that seem familiar, with fragments of speech heard in passing and, between times, a voice saying, "Very nice, very nice." The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
