Great photographs!
Cool. I think I’d really enjoy this movie. I imagine it’d be the type of movie you’d watch during a rainy autumn after coming back from thrifting or grocery shopping or something. Just watching it in an itchy sweater.
Agh…I’m thinking of a movie this kind of reminds me of, but I just can’t think of the title. Like, I have a feeling. I don’t really know what I’m saying.
Greatness, Petra. Always love your shoots.
This is such a beautifully executed idea!
What a nice collection of pictures, they would make a great movie

The styling of these photos is like if Margot Tenenbaum and Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless mind had a friggin awesome love child.
Beautiful eye candy canes (festive candy, wooh!) My eyes be gettin fat from all dem sweets.
obsessed with the library shots, number 5 is so intriguing. love it!
Beautiful photos! Love the colours and clothes too.
I don’t know why, but really makes me think of Submarine, though i feel this film would be far more serious than Submarine!
Eva looks so much like Lady Gaga in stills 1&12!!!
@Sarah – i think it’s her nose…
These are great, i think #3 is amazing, i really something about public libraries, but i don’t know what…
I would watch this movie! These are beautiful photos. Im absolutely in love with them.
This is brilliant. The pictures are so believable and when I look at them, they play out into a little film in my mind. It reminds me of La Jetée, a french (post-apocalytpic time travel) film from 1962, which is made up entirely of black and white still images, with a beautiful french narration and spooky music. It’s awesome, so awesome that i did my Science Fiction unit English speech about it. It is crazy how much movement is created without actual moving images. I recommend everyone watch it, and it would be so cool if, Petra, you could turn your beautiful images into something like this!
this would be an amazing movie :D great shots!
I don’t know why the last picture spoke a lot to me.
Great idea, agree with Sedgwick.
This SHOULD be a constant section – but it also should be more original or personal.
It’s ok to be inspired by things, but this is a bit too derivative from icons we already know and love (also thanks to RookieMag) like The Royal Tenenbaums/Ghost World/Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, isn’t it?
Keep developing!
this might sound reallyyyy strange, but it reminds me a little bit of ‘paris, texas’?
That’s the EXACT colour of hair dye I’m looking for, where is it from?!?
She looks so much like lady gaga.
And I really want to watch this movie.
In 1, 2, 5, 6, 10 and 12 Eva looks very Lady Gaga-ish. The makeup around the eyes especially. And the pink hair and long face.
I absolutely love these pics, especially #3. :) Her fur coat reminds me of Margot Tenebaum’s (loving today’s background btw).
I should use the last one as inspiration for a story of my own… What’s happened to this girl? Where’s she going now?
This is beautiful! Incredible beautiful.
THIS IS SHIT!
Not really! I LOVE THESE!
Perfect in every way! Petra, u slay me! Keep it up!
;)
Beautiful pictures! I would love to watch this movie, and number 3 is amazing!
I just love it! It’s amazing, I mean she’s gorgeous and the photos are AWESOME! Awesome styling and her hair fascinates me!
I have to see this film before my breaks over!
if only haha
Oh i wish this was a real movie…
This actually reminds me of Tel Aviv, for some reason.
Is it based on any particular movie?
These photographs really tell a story. From the styling and poses that Eva and Madelyne created to the shots Petra did. Actually this is how I think when I’m rooming around. Nice work!
I wish I could watch this movie
so in love with these photos petra, you’re inspiring me to be more adventurous with my photography
lovely!!!
