Meet the filmmakers of #RocklandInMotion: Veronica Murphy: CONSUM(HER), new media. The film is a glance-worthy consideration of how advertisers have negatively marketed to and historically projected upon women. Whether it be cosmetics, moisturizers, soaps or coffee—the industry has regularly found a profitable demographic in inferiority and insecurity. Veronica Murphy is an emerging artist in the United States exploring cultural themes of visual aesthetics & activism in New Media, Film and Photography. She is currently graduating from Purchase College, and previously graduated from Purdue University. Murphy uses new media and historical references to stimulate conversation and exploit predominant concerns focused on social dynamics, technology, and identity.

There will be a Zoom discussion hosted by Travis Stever on Wednesday, September 23, at 7:30. Travis is best known for playing guitar and singing background vocals for the rock group Coheed and Cambria, a career that has taken him all over the world. He grew up in Rockland County and Bergen County, and currently lives in Nyack with his wife and two children.
