Description

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, a best-selling educational software that taught millions, made the titular character a household name. However, the software’s cover model, the Haitian-born Renee L'Espérance, vanished decades ago. Director Jazmin Jones and collaborator Olivia McKayla Ross embark on a cross-country investigation to search for the model while posing questions about artificial intelligence, Black representation, and the right to privacy in the digital age. An Official Selection of the 2024 True/False Film Fest.
