Feedback:

"Engaging and innovative"
Randy Pitman, Video Librarian

“These films make the study of society and the media relevant to students by speaking to their everyday experiences and inspires them to speak as well -- guaranteed to spark lively classroom conversations.”
-Astra Taylor, Department of Sociology
SUNY New Paltz


“Revealing, sensitive, and yes, funny, Wet Dreams and False Images is a wonderful deconstruction of the construction of desire. I strongly recommend it as a teaching tool for both academic and community environments.”
-Stephen Duncombe, Media and Cultural Studies
New York University


“A candid look at a normal, seductive, and disturbingly unreal part of our visual culture.”
-Leon Dunkley, Ph.D., Director, Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture
Duke University


"Epstein's quirky, quietly radical film shows consciousness being raised right on camera...A riveting examination of how retouching has enforced an utterly unrealizable standard of female beauty, even at street level."
-Kate Stables, Guardian Newspapers
