A memoir by photographic artist Jona Frank told in captivating
stories and poignant images with a cast of actors, including Laura
Dern and Imogene Wolodarsky, Cherry Hill tells the story of one
girl's suburban youth and deliverance. Cherry Hill is a multimedia
memoir of photographic artist Jona Frank's upbringing in - and
flight from - a stifling suburban household. Told in words and
evocative photographs, Frank's account of her childhood struggles
with a repressive mother, mentally ill brother, and overwhelming
expectations is leavened with episodes from her rich interior
world. Akin to a graphic novel, this hybrid of personal essay and
photography breaks open the memoir format, detailing the life of a
young artist as she spends her days dreaming of a friendship with
Emily Dickinson, longing for Bruce Springsteen and eschewing the
rules of femininity. Frank employs a cinematic approach to
construct vivid scenes from her youth. Using elaborately dressed
sets, era-specific wardrobes, and multiple actors to portray
herself as a child, Frank refashions her memories into vibrant
tableaux. Strikingly, Frank cast Academy Award-winning actor Laura
Dern in the role of her strict and complicated mother in a
performance as bravura as her film and television work. As Frank
outgrows the confines of her environment and suffocating domestic
life, discovering art and photography as the path to her personal
fulfillment, she plots her ultimate escape. A unique photographic
storytelling project reminiscent of such classics as Fun Home and
The Best We Could Do, Cherry Hill is an intimate self-portrait of
what it takes to break free of convention and answer the question,
Who am I meant to be?
