YOU WON'T MISS ME
by Ry Russo-Young USA 2009 HDCAM 81 min. OV

A kaleidoscopic film portrait of Shelly Brown, a 23-year-old alienated urban misfit recently released from a psychiatric hospital.

Starring Stella Schnabel, featuring Rene Ricard and introducing other notable New York personalities, the film gives pathos to the frenzy of the youthful desire for acceptance. Shot in a variety of styles and formats, YOU WONT MISS ME mixes non-actors with professionals, verité with staging, order with abstraction, to paint an evocative picture of a contemporary rebel.
The director Russo-Young, apparently together with her lead star (whom she’s known in real life from childhood), wrote up an in-depth biography of her character, and then interviewed her for ten hours prior to shooting the movie. All the dialogue in the movie is also improvised.
