Can one woman change the course of an entire industry? Maybe. This film follows designer Amy Powney as she struggles to make her brand sustainable and the highest level of design. This story translates to any design discipline. This film is about reimagining any design, and it's inspiring and heartwarming. The ADFF NY audience loved this film! If you miss it on opening night, it will also screen on Saturday night.

After the film, there will be a Q&A with the director Becky Hutner and then a party at Arcane.
