    #01 - SUMMARIES | Lexie Mosby: Purity Culture, Revelatory Filmmaking, and Exploring the Complexities of Character and Consent

    Hello, Hello! Welcome to SUMMARIES, Episode #1 Summaries takes some of our best long-form interviews (and even some unpublished ones) and condenses them to down to 10 minutes of pure listening pleasure.  Summaries are hosted by our digital interns, Alex Ivey and Allison Inverness, and are designed to give you, our valued listeners, just the information you need from each guest. It's a new short-form concept for a fast-paced world. It's the answer to the two-hour podcast you want to listen to but never have the time for. Each new episode of Summaries will be published right here, on the MAKE IT feed. We think you'll love it as much as we do—now, on to the show. --- Alex and Allison summarize a previously unreleased MAKE IT episode with Filmmaker Lexie Mosby in this episode. So, who is Lexie Mosby, and what did she make? Lexie Mosby, a 21-year-old senior in college double majoring in film and psychology, is gaining recognition for her compelling and honest independent filmmaking. Her short film Morning Room tackles the intersection of purity culture and sexual assault, a topic she personally experienced. The film portrays a young woman in a Christian relationship who discovers her boyfriend has been molesting her. Mosby's background in psychology informs her complex character portrayals, including a nuanced depiction of the boyfriend. She is also working on two new films, "Hosts" and "After School," which showcase her range in storytelling. Mosby's work is marked by her bravery, authenticity, and the ability to address difficult and often silenced topics. Enjoy, and follow Lexie on Instagram here.
