Chasing Beauty

Chasing Beauty was an honest and real look into what the modeling world is really like. Sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes it's crazy. Sometimes it totally sucks. Sometimes it's really weird. Sometimes it's all luck and timing. There are so many factors that make a model a success or not and it often has little to do with looks and beauty. At the end of the day, we are all "Chasing Beauty". I love the honesty and purity of this film's message. It wasn't all dark and drama, nor was it all glam and glitz. It's informative. It's factual. And it's quite funny! To everyone out there who wants to be a model, you want to watch this. And to everyone else, you'll still enjoy this film. Kudos to the Chasing Beauty Film Team!

This is a great look into the underbelly of the modeling industry and explores the cost of beauty and how it effects the participants. Really enjoyed it, especially because I had no idea about the world of...

While very depressing at times, this films makes a successful attempt to peel back the onion of runway and fashion modeling. In doing so it reveals the sobering reality of how difficult it is to make it in this industry; but also how hard work and motivation (sprinkled with a pinch of luck) can indeed pay off! Chasing Beauty is bold, beautiful, and shocking, but there's enough here to satisfy anyone's curiosity. This is a good watch for aspiring models, their parents and support network; fashion photographers and anyone else with an interest in this subject. It could easily work as an educational prop for support organizations and educational institutions.

I just had the opportunity to see Chasing Beauty at the Houston screening...so happy I did! Finally a modeling/fashion documentary that covers some different and surprising stories from the modeling business. Chasing Beauty was a harder hitting look than I went in expecting. I don't want to give anything away, but there were unexpected story lines to say the least. Brent Huff did such a fantastic job in giving the audience access to BOTH sides of a crazy business, the good and the bad. It was a fair look into that world. The doc was fast paced and very well done. I look forward to seeing it again when it comes out.

My friend Robbie told me about the film and I watched the film. It was very good.The director had an interesting message to tell and he told it well. I am a film major and am hoping to make some good films soon.

CHASING BEAUTY provides a rare glimpse into the intriguing and complex world of modeling. Behind the glossy covers of Vogue and Glamour lie the rarely talked about, uncensored stories of what models endure and sacrifice to become a top model. CHASING BEAUTY examines body image and the psychological effects of the beauty business on young women and men. The film examines what it takes to be a top model - the demanding and oftentimes unattainable physical requirements of the position, the financial and emotional investment, and the moral negotiations that are sometimes prerequisites for making it. The film follows supermodels, photographers, agents, designers, plastic surgeons, make-up artists and psychologists and asks the question...what is beauty and is it worth the cost?
