Lines (2014)
Lines is a story about a woman's trip to the dermatologist's office to remove a mole only to find herself accosted by her doctor about Botulinum Toxin and lip fillers. In today's society the pressure of ageism is overwhelming and unfair. The forty-year-old woman in this film, Amelia Jamison, enters the doctor's office feeling beautiful and fulfilled and leaves feeling old and vulnerable. The short ends with an encounter on the boardwalk with a naturally beautiful woman that brings her perspective back to where it should be. My goal with this short is to inspire confidence in the beauty of who we are naturally. To not let the pressures of today's youth obsessed society manipulate us into unnatural external augmentation.

best movie i've ever seen.
Absolutely the worst movie.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
This is Johnson's second short film (Bent). I had the pleasure of seeing a early viewing of this film in early 2014. It is visually beautiful and captivating. I honestly didn't know what to expect before seeing this film. Amy Jo Johnson shines (as usual) her acting and comedic timing land perfectly alongside Enrico Colantoni. It follows Amelia going for a routine dermatologist appointment and her doctor trying to talk her into a light cosmetic procedure. It's very much a coming to age story for the younger older woman. Self love, appreciation, gratitude. Learning to be happy about who you're growing into as a person, but on a physical level.
