METAL GIRL
is a comedy/drama coming-of-age feature film project set in 1970's Denmark and based on the semi-autobiograhpical novel The Metal Girl by Judy Sandra. 

LOGLINE:  In the winter of 1974, a 25-year-old American woman travels to Denmark to become a "woman-of-the-world". 

DESCRIPTION:  In the winter of 1974, a 25-year-old American woman named Charlotte travels to Denmark on a solitary journey to become a woman-of-the-world. In her quest for “life experiences”, Charlotte becomes involved with an ensemble of memorable and somewhat eccentric Scandinavians. Her journey through these relationships climaxes late one night when she discovers the illuminating truth about herself.

"Metal Girl" is an exploration of a young woman’s psycho-sexual awakening at a time when all the rules were changing, when feminism and sexual liberation were on the rise, and what it meant to be a woman was no longer clearly defined. But it is also a story about human nature and those universal questions for any young woman--or man--who is coming of age: Who am I? Where am I going? And as the fantasy mermaid in the story so aptly puts it: “What is freedom without love?”
