I was not the easiest teenager to raise.

I eventually grew out of my unfounded angst, but the idealized, tender mother-daughter bond was far from my own adolescent experience.

"In Our Veins" was inspired by a story my mother told me about my Great Grandma Anne and her witch powers. Born from the legend rooted in our Jewish-Polish heritage, the film explores the idea of natural magic through spirituality.

This brutally honest depiction of the nuances of family dynamics across generations of women is connected through the belief that maybe - just maybe - magic is real.
