I am really interested to hear from people. This is a project (still in a very early stage) about a woman and her relationship to her body as she ages and through various moments in life. So i am seeking some stories to help with my research and to create this character. And because i love stories and so far, i’ve heard some stunning ones, some awesome thoughts, face-to-face.

I won’t share where the stories come from without your permission and you can let me know below if you would like to stay anonymous.

What i’m looking for are memories, moments, experiences, the more visceral the better, but that doesn’t mean you have to write beautifully. Stories can be abstract, simple, detailed or strange. What I’m looking for is the personal. How do you feel? …even if that is conflicted.

I’m going to ask questions or make provocations or ask for stories about a particular moment and i will write a post about each and then list them below.

So the first one is this…

When did you first notice your body?

With the warmest thanks…Sophie

PS – your experience might be relevant if you don’t identify as a woman (gender-queer, non-conforming, trans, grew-up-as-female, man who feels they have something personal to offer etc) so if you think it might, please join in but…

….”for reals” if you want to complain or argue with someone or voice an opinion against someone, this isn’t the place for it.

Write YES here if you are contributing your own story and you are allowing me to use it as research for a film (that means elements might end up in the film but not connected to you)

write PUBLIC if you are ok with your story being published publicly (for example, on this blog)

write NAME OK if you give permission for me to use your name with your story

write DETAILS OK if you give permission for me to use some attributes (listed below) if publishing your story

Do you identify as a WOMAN? Write WOMAN or MAN or however you like to identify (eg Genderqueer, Trans, non-conforming, prefer not to)

Tell us a bit about yourself. Just what you are comfortable with. Examples might be your Age, Nationality, Religion, Occupation, or a few words about how you identify yourself. I might use woman, filmmaker, mum, mid-30's (or i might not too) . Whatever you would like to tell would be helpful for me to get a sense of you when i read your story.

write CREDIT here if you want a thank you credit on the film or website.

Write CLOSER here if you would like to receive the Closer Productions newsletter with info about the films
