Odessa Young emphasizes how My First Film came into her life at a perfect time, allowing her to explore a scrappier approach to filmmaking and reinvigorate her passion.
Young describes My First Film as a complex narrative that intertwines fiction and real experiences, particularly focusing on a young woman's journey through an abortion while directing her debut.
In My First Film, Young embodies the role of Zia Anger, illustrating the chaos of inexperience in filmmaking and highlighting the collective effort needed to realize a vision.
The film's exploration of DIY filmmaking serves as a powerful commentary on the dedication required to create art, despite the possibility of that work never seeing success.
