Saint Mazie

Mazie Phillips grows up in 1920s New York. While her younger sister dances in vaudeville shows and her older sister gets married, Mazie is unsure of her path. Her brother-in-law gives her a job at his cinema. During the day, she observes the bustling activity from her ticket booth, and at night, she roams the neighborhood. While Prohibition makes secret gatherings in the city's bars enticing, the economic crisis causes the city to decline. Mazie begins to care for the people on the streets. This atypical saint truly existed. Jami Attenberg brings her to life in a vibrant collage of Mazie's diary entries and the voices of her friends.
