Healing through Filmmaking w/ Rebecca Byerly Bad Feminists Making Films

Back in January, we chat with Rebecca Byerly, a filmmaker, journalist and ultra marathon runner whose film Women of the Mountains examines a story of intergenerational trauma. We speak with Rebecca about her process of “waking up” to her own story — and when and how she decided to turn the camera on her family and herself. We explore what it means to make healing a goal of filmmaking, so that the stories we tell are transformational not only to our intended audiences but also to those with whom we have the most complex relationships and ourselves.
