jumpcut movie:Hidden Agenda Hidden Agenda
by Kylee Darcy, 18, Fairfax, California

Filmmaker's Note:
I am 18 years old, from Fairfax, California, dancer, an activist, extreme snowboarder, mountain biker and traveler. If you think I'm a dumb blonde, well, so much the better. You won't know what hit you!

I am surrounded by hidden agenda, bombarded with false advertising and political spin; reality distorted as peoplecover up for personal gain. I've attempted to show this duplicity in an artistic way. My message: You can hide behind a mask of lies, but you can't hide from truth. I was only fifteen when I had my identity stolen — for the FIRST time! Yeah, it's happened twice! Every time I check my e-mail there's yet another bogus lottery "win."Most of my cosmetics have toxic ingredients, the mac and cheese I wolfed as a kid has more artificial color than nutrients. Even my dog's food was laced with a poisonous product to make it look like it contained more protein. My president claims ignorance of the lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A minister who spreads homophobic propaganda turns out to be gay himself. Boyfriends cheat. Girlfriends gossip. Who's a girl going to trust!?!

Filmmaker's Note:
We're a group of 9 International Relations students. All the violence problem in the world made us look to our own country, with its corruption and violence. We want to show that here is not just parties...beautiful people and places. We have problems too and we want to solve then.
