In this intimate portrait, iconic and legendary artist Cindy Sherman reveals her childhood preoccupation with family photos, the reason behind her use of photography, and what challenges she has overcome in her four-plus-decade career. With self-effacing charm and candor, she confesses to her competitiveness with male painters, to collectors' initial rejection of her work, and to how her personal shyness drove her to play with costume and identity.

Shot on location in her Tribeca and East Hampton, NY studios, Cindy Sherman: Picture This reveals a side of the enigmatic artist rarely seen on film.

Director's Bio: Born in Los Angeles, producer and director Sophie Chahinian developed an interest in independent filmmaking after earning a B.A. in Philosophy from Occidental College and an M.A. in Contemporary Art from the University of Manchester. She is the founding director of The Artist Profile Archive, an online multimedia platform featuring short documentaries about contemporary artists in their own words. By sharing films of working artists reflecting on their personal backgrounds, creative challenges, and sources of inspiration, Sophie hopes to illuminate the capacity of visual art to unite a broader community and connect people through our shared human experiences.
