Back to selectionMeriem Bennani and Orian Barki made Filmmaker's 25 New Faces list in 2020 off their improbably delightful pandemic-set 2 Lizards, a viral web series in which the filmmakers, week by week, transposed the time's various masking and social distancing rituals into an animal-centric parallel NYC. In our profile, Bennani teased a new work, saying, "There's something we spontaneously found together in terms of an animation technique and a certain tone that could be developed into another project."

When I got pregnant, my mother wasn't excited, and she remained distant. She eventually came around to love my child, healing our mother-daughter relationship.

You can be proactive about this and you can make a plan for de-escalation if your prophylactic measures fail. Mother and daughter being close is a wonderful thing. Being 'prone to fighting' is not.
