This is a Reflection on Maya Deren

I feel like every film enthusiast knows who Maya Deren is and is aware of her influence in experimental cinema. I will say, I was not an initial fan of her work, but after this presentation I have come to appreciate it a lot more. I didn't know she had done films as beautiful as The Very Eye of Night, which I think is my favorite piece of hers. While I haven't always liked her work, I feel like I can now cite her as a influencer in mine simply because we are both women who like to make films simply because we can. She and I do not care about how famous our work gets, and I think more people need to be like that.
