Picture Me is a documentary by co directors and ex couple Sara Ziff and Ole Schell about the complexities and superficial facade of the modeling world.  But unlike the kazillion of documentaries out there about fashion Picture me is unique because its formed from a grossly personal standpoint.  Organically shot by Schell while dating Ziff during her rise in the fashion world.  As a recent NYU graduate, he compiled years of footage while following her around and documented the world of casting calls, shows, photo shoots and interviews with top models. Picture me offers a voyeuristic glimpse of the backstage, often showing the less than pristine realities of the fashion biz.

Here is a link to an interview from Dazed Online and the trailer for the documentary that premiered at Gen Art festival:  http://www.dazeddigital.com/Fashion/article/4168/1/Picture_Me?utm_source=_link&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_term=Picture+Me
