Our Story

A Young Woman and a Young Man meet each other. Or who they believe each other to be.
2yds. is a short film about the fragility of perception and the weight of first impressions.

2 yds. written and directed by Radha Blank, marks her return the world of film making. This will also act as  part of her submission for AFI's Women Directors Program of 2012.

The Impact

As a film, 2yds. aims to spark dialogue about the perceptions we make based on a person's appearance. But going deeper this film will explore the image of a woman in the context of her environment and how the perception of a woman's cultural and religious identity can shift with a simple change in her physical appearance.
