Film
After rediscovering an old camcorder at the age of 22, a young woman pieces together her journey in mental health, relationships, and self-image using footage of her younger and older selves. Performance, poetry, and music are used to tell the story of the ones who never felt they had a place in this world and were left with only one option—to make worlds of their own.
Clotilda
DeMauro
Clotilda (Chloe) DeMauro is a 23-year-old from New Canaan, Connecticut. She has been editing footage since she learned how to use iMovie in her parent’s home office when she was 9 years old. She has always had a raging passion for filming, performance, acting, singing, dancing, music and the world. She originally came to Mizzou to pursue television broadcasting because it combined two of her favorite things—performance and helping people. Her sophomore year, however, she decided television broadcasting limited her creativity. It was soon resurrected by her discovery of the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism. There, she would go on to complete her first short documentary: My Name is Clotilda.
