Shared Resources

Made over five years, SHARED RESOURCES depicts my family after my father was fired from his job as a debt collector and my parents declared bankruptcy, largely due to my own debt. Following my parents' day-to-day lives and my relationship with them, the film self-reflexively utilizes open captions and visual descriptions both to provide access to Blind and Deaf audiences and to involve my family in reflecting how they see themselves in the film. Meanwhile, as my parents and I confront our very different understandings of debt and disability, the film asks what it means to owe each other everything.
