Logline
Rebekah is an American fashion designer in Paris with multiple personalities, haunted by severe childhood trauma, who learns to love again.
Art Therapy :: Creative Process
The origin of Rebekah's Closet the novel was an art therapy writing assignment from Hoskins' then counselor in 2004. What came as a complete surprise, was the writing of 546 pages of a novel entitled Rebekah's Closet. Based on Hoskins’ true story of healing from severe childhood trauma, the novel became both Memoir and Magic Realism. Amy experienced severe childhood trauma, and has multiple personalities, in addition to many physical and mental health disabilities. Rebekah has Amy’s three mental health diagnoses, too.
Short Film :: A Message to Survivors
The short film is beautiful, lush, a transformation away from trauma. By creating a short film about healing from trauma, it is our hope to reduce mental health stigma. We want survivors to know that they are not alone. Rebekah's healing journey is fraught, but positive. The loving and unconditional support she receives from loved ones helps her heal and feel love again.
