Woman’s Picture is an anthology film inspired by classic women’s films of the thirties, forties, and fifties written and directed by Brian Pera. The story is divided into three sections, each of which presents a portrait of a specific female character. The segments function as parallel dimensions, exploring thematic connections between women whose immediate experiences seem very far removed from one another.

Cast: Calpernia Addams - Amy Lavere - Ann Magnuson - Angela Dee - Brian Pera - Corey Parker - Paul Provenza - Gerald L'Ecuyer - Sally Stover - Gia Mora
