In this intimate artist portrait, Daniela shares her struggles, anger and catharsis as she creates a sculpture modelled after a series of unsolicited dick pics. She also shares her process with a diverse group of women who come together in one of her popular Berlin-based dick sculpting workshops. It’s a hands-on approach to healing that yields beautiful results.

About the Director
Johanna Gustin is a writer and director originally from New York, now living and working in Berlin. After graduating cum laude from Smith College, she received a Fulbright scholarship and moved to Hamburg, Germany where she completed an MA in Cultural Studies with her thesis “Here Come The Brides: Homosocial Female Relationships in Contemporary Wedding Film Comedies”. Although a relative newcomer to the film industry, Johanna has centered cinema in her life — both personally and professionally — from a young age, and her transition to making films was a long time coming. Her academic background makes her a thoughtful, bold and insightful observer of the structural and cultural norms and boundaries affecting our everyday lived experiences.
