The film shows men and women models at work on TV commercials, fashion shows, print advertising,
posing for magazine covers and ads for a variety of products: designer's collections, fur coats, sports clothes
and automobiles. The models are seen at work with photographers whose techniques illustrate different
styles of fashion and product photography. Also, the business aspect of running an agency is shown:
interviewing prospective models, career counseling, arranging portfolios, talking with clients and planning
trips. The film presents a view of the intersections of fashion, business, advertising, photography, television
and fantasy.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE was filmed in Tampa, Florida. The film shows the police responding to domestic
violence calls and the work of The Spring, the principal shelter in Tampa for women and children. Sequences
with the police include police response, intervention, and attempted resolution of domestic violence calls.
Sequences at the shelter include intake interviews, individual counseling sessions, anger management
training, group therapy, staff meetings, and conversations among clients and between clients and staff.
Since two thirds of the residents at the shelter are children, the film also has sequences of school activities,
therapy sessions for children where domestic violence is discussed, and counseling for parents and children
organized around children's issues and experiences with domestic violence.
