Through out the all of Jennifer Montgomery’s films I found them very unique and diverse from one another. In her first film “How to use Equipment” I found it very humorous mostly because I could relate to having to teach people how to use what I find very simple equipment to use. I wish that she would had the other role because I was really into that film and the abrupt end to it made me feel incomplete. The second film “Age 12: Love with a Little L” was to me not as captivating in the sense that I could not relate to the situation, except what I observed of girls as a 12 year old boy, and I did see some moments that I witnessed but nothing to strong. There were many things I did not even notice until after talking to others in the class about certain metaphors of the adolescent girl. Jennifer’s last film she presented was the most powerful, but I did not see how some of the aspects she used were relevant, I suppose that after the long discussion of the “controversial” hand-made film that was created right in front of the camera, did have significance, that I will never quiet understand. When I realized that Jennifer was going around the states to her old film friends and slowly gaining her old film equipment I thought that she was mending some old relationships at the same time that she was getting her things, but the last interview I soon realized she was doing most of these things to create a dream that was all about her and just her.
