The Doula Is In
Directed by Sarah Fornace & Julia VanArsdale Miller
The Doula Is In is an animated web series created by a group of female filmmakers, animators, and a professional doula. Its purpose is to provide practical, educational, and emotional support to women concerning reproduction and childbirth. Each episode will deal with a different theme that ranges from the origin of midwives to the chemical breakdown of the birth process. The video series will adapt a dialogue between millennial women and a practicing doula (Katy Collins) into five video episodes that illustrate scientifically (and humorously) what happens to women’s bodies during the birth process.
