El lado oscuro de la belleza

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.

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...

I recently watched "Chasing Beauty" at the Kansas City, Missouri screening and it was absolutely fantastic! Brent Huff did an outstanding job putting this film together and the results couldn't have been any more intriguing. The stories he weaved throughout the film took a rare, inside look at the modeling industry and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Brent asked all of the right questions and the models, agents and other participants in the film gave some very straightforward and honest answers to give the viewers a true picture of this glamorous, fast paced and sometimes heartbreaking business. I was truly amazed at the behind the scenes information revealed in this film. I've already watched it a second time!

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!

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?
