I Was Raised by a Series of Extraordinary Women

About This Movie

I Was Raised by a Series of Extraordinary Women is a deeply personal documentary that explores the filmmaker's relationship with the memory of his father, who passed away when he was just six. It’s a raw, reflective piece that juxtaposes the memories of a man he never really knew with the strong women who shaped his life. The tone is intimate, a mix of nostalgia and longing, as the narrative unfolds through a series of interviews and home footage, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The pacing is meditative, allowing viewers to absorb each story and the emotions tied to them. What stands out is how it finds beauty in absence—how myth and memory intertwine, giving life to a father whose presence is felt through the stories of those he left behind.
