A personal exploration of how living in a landlocked state contributed to my fear of the ocean and distorted sense of femininity.
No Mermaids in Pennsylvania is an inquiry into my families distorted feminine experience. Using the ocean as a metaphor for femininity, this documentary explores our thalassophobia through poetic interviews, a trip to the aquarium, and archival footage. A symbolic examination of Pennsylvania’s dryness against the Jersey shore, No Mermaids in Pennsylvania is a deeply personal, extraordinary tale of generational fear.
