Any Resemblance – Episode 1 – Logistics
From: Jen Abrams
Maddy and Audrey are an interracial lesbian couple trying to get pregnant.
Episode one follows the couple contending with the maddening logistics of choosing the insemination date, both women's families reveal their subtle racisms, and an ex-girlfriend appears at an especially bad moment.

Is this a modern dance/interpretation kind of deal? Looked like it. Great idea!
Modern dance? Sure felt a bit like it. I ADORE the effects (like the little fire that is supposed to represent anger on the cupboard door!)
