GLOWING — directed by Beth B — is an immersive, genre-defying experience that blurs the boundaries between documentary, narrative, experimental cinema, and music video. Eight fearless artists step into the frame — their voices raw, their stories electric. As poets, musicians, and performers reveal deeply personal truths, their stories collide and intertwine, forming a powerful, living dialogue with the audience.
What unfolds is not simply storytelling, but an invitation: to feel, to witness, to connect. Drawn from lived experience, Glowing journeys through darkness and into transformation — where pain becomes art, and struggle ignites into radiant self-expression. Through hypnotic visuals and an electrifying score by Jim Coleman, the film pulses with emotional intensity, reflecting the inner worlds of its subjects — raw, unfiltered, unforgettable. Yet even in its darkest moments, it refuses despair — illuminating flickers of resilience, liberation, and hope. Glowing is a cinematic awakening.
Featuring an extraordinary ensemble including Rose Wood, Nick Flynn, Little Annie, No Anger, Joseph Keckler, Robert O. Leaver, Rose Tang, and Evelyn Frantti.
Glowing premieres at Roxy Cinema in NYC on Wednesday, May 27, at 8:00 pm, followed by a Q&A moderated by Sean Glass, and will also screen at the Roxy on Saturday, May 30, at 4:30 pm, with a Q&A moderated by Sandra Schulberg.
