A Town Called Needville
Told through 35mm photographs and first-person narration, "A Town Called Needville" traces the filmmaker's four-month inpatient stay at an all-women’s mental health facility in Needville, Texas. Drawing from journal entries and observations recorded during treatment, this film offers a rare, unfiltered window into the daily rhythms, absurdities, and quiet tragedies of institutional life, and the nonlinear process of healing from trauma.
