Indigo Valley (2020)
The Answer to a Forgotten Fact: Women are Complex
Indigo Valley is living proof of the wondrously authentic art that can arise from a female-dominated cast and crew. Writer, director, and actor Jaclyn Bethany continues to shatter the glass ceiling with each new story she tells, and in doing so, gives voice to the women artists she surrounds herself with. The haunting and classically influenced score, made in collaboration between Jaclyn, Dalal Bruchmann and Maesa Pullman, tells musically the tale of a complex sisterhood, in a way that feels like a story in and of itself. That this film, its genre, and its characters do not fit a mold is a tribute to arthouse and a breath of fresh air from the so often one-dimensional renderings of women that male writers of Hollywood bring to the screen. Jaclyn is a force to be reckoned with, full stop.
