Screenings

Suffern, New York Screening

Perfect was shown at artist Spencer Tunick's studio on Sunday, January 3, 2010.

American Premiere

Perfect premiered at Purdue University on October 2, 2009. The film was followed by a panel with myself, Patricia Sullivan and Jenny Bay from the English Department, and Patricia Hart from the Spanish Department and Film and Video Studies. We had over 100 people in attendance and over an hour of questions after the panel, so it felt like a wonderful beginning for the film.

Conferences

Scenes from Perfect were screened at the Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference at Michigan State University this October as part of a panel titled, "Beautiful Like Me: Rhetoric of, in, and around the Body."

In the Classroom

Cecilia Rodríguez Milanés, Associate Professor of English at the University of Central Florida, uses Perfect in her Honors Freshman Composition, Latina/o Literature and Hispanic Women Writers courses as part of the classes' exploration of media representations of Latina/os.
