Monika Treut came to my undergrad college and did a workshop with the school's one filmmaking class and we were... absolutely not ready for anything she had on offer. A filmmaker who operates on her own frequency. Look for VIRGIN MACHINE.

Admittedly had never heard of Monika Treut before Liz showed me this trailer for the program and, based purely on this, I am now kind of obsessed and need to see them all.
