I did my video project on the poet and writer Sylvia Plath. Her works include the novel, The Bell Jar, and a vast array of poems that can be read in the publication, The Collected Poems. Sylvia led a short and colorful life filled with creativity, style, depression and drama. Her story is not all that complicated, Sylvia just couldn't find a resolution that suited her, other than death. My short film focuses on the normalcy of her life as a student, wife, mother and writer. Someone just like us who was plagued by depression in a time before modern medicine could have saved her life. I hope you enjoy the video, photographs, poetry reading and song selection. Be sure to listen to the song as the credits are shown at the end. Click on the link below to view...
