Shauna Croom

A short, humorous film! One afternoon in the life of a young woman from the East Village in New York City... With the help of two of her friends, she goes to get her nose pierced. This simple act leads her to examine her feelings regarding her traditional Indian Heritage -- what this heritage means to her, when her daily life is immersed in things American... Mix in a shopkeeper who only speaks Hindi, her concerned Indian mother, a couple of nose-rings, a filet-o-fish -- and you get -- Junky Punky Girlz!
