“A Girl's Guide to Having It All”is a documentary that examines the notion that women can, or cannot, really have it all. We highlight a group of women who are deciding for themselves what “having it all” really means, and bring them together to discuss how, while their paths are so different, they are all the same in that they are happy and fulfilled. How one woman sees her impact on the world greater because she doesn't have a family to focus on. Why one woman finds the most perfect joy in a role that sometimes reduces her to tears. What spurred one woman to make a hard right turn on her career path after years of hard work. These are just some of the insights that are shared in the hopes that other women watching learn the secret … The secret to having it all is … there is no right or wrong answer. Women have followed their hearts, their guts, and sometimes their wallets into paths that have given them absolute satisfaction and fulfillment, because it meant having it all for THEM. They didn't listen to what their parents wanted. They didn't do what all of their friends were doing. They operated under their own guidelines and rules for themselves, and in turn, found everything they ever wanted. About the Documentary:“A Girl's Guide to Having it All” was shot in Summer/Fall 2005, as an independent documentary focused in Cleveland, Ohio. The concept started as a book, from creator Brenda Patterson, in direct response to the pressures she felt in her mid-20's to have it all — her college degree, a career, and children by the time she was 30. Over lunch with an acquaintance, Anthony Samangy, the conversation turned toward the idea, which as a director he saw translated into a compelling documentary. And so, the idea was born in March, 2005. About the women featured in the film:Melissa Foster |
