In support of Planned Parenthood

My Vote, 2020

Directed by Marilyn Minter featuring Amber Heard

Created by artist Marilyn Minter starring actress Amber Heard, MY VOTE sends a message to women across America, asking them to vote to preserve their right to make autonomous decisions about their own bodies. Minter filmed among her signature mysterious steamy scenery.  We glimpse Heard tracing her fingers across misty condensation on glass to spell out, “My body. My mind. My Rights. My vote.”, with a haunting soundtrack by indie singer-songwriter Julia Holter.  The simplicity of the message resonates amid provocative color-saturated film that both deconstructs and challenges the sex-sell of commercial advertising.  The video is an urgent call-to-action for women to speak up, and make their voice heard to stop extremist politician’s efforts to restrict their freedoms.  Minter says “Just watching the news in recent years it has become apparent that right wing radicals are chipping away at Roe vs Wade, hoping to completely overturn it.  I never expected this to happen in my lifetime.  It seems quite urgent right now for women to vote to protect their rights.  I was honored to have an opportunity to speak directly to women by making this video.”.  The video will run as a direct ad purchase in swing states. The campaign was produced by Downtown for Democracy in support of Planned Parenthood.
