Now Return Us to Normal
a work-in-progress by filmmaker Leslie Koren
After
experiencing flashbacks surrounding her years at a behavior modification school
in Oakley, Utah, a filmmaker contacts former classmates to help connect the
dots of her disjointed memories. Compelled by their conversations to return to
Utah, she tracks down those responsible for her mistreatment looking for
answers.
A new
transplant to Pittsburgh, Koren will be in attendance. She presents Now Return Us to Normal as a
work-in-progress. Come offer your comments as she nears completion of
this feature-length documentary.
