Turn Around
Directed and Written by Prarthana Mohan
Entered into Competition at the Portland Woman's Festival, Seoul Film Festival and Method Film Festival, showing March 26, 2010.
At age 35, Christy Logan discovers that she has been hiding a dark secret. What starts off as curiosity soon has her spiraling out of control as she realizes that what she wants out of life is to be an exhibitionist. It is a lifestyle choice that goes against everything that is expected of her by society, and she struggles with a desperate need to reconcile the role she plays in life, that of a wife and mother, with her hidden identity. Out of desperation to feel fulfilled, she turns to the internet and finds that not only are there others out there like her, but there are those who are willing to meet with her to mutually enact their hidden fantasies. Christy is sucked into the seedy and sometimes dangerous world of meeting up with strangers to take sexual risks in public. And although she is finally living the life she believes should be hers, she is wracked with guilt for her lies and for the double life she has created apart from her family.
As soon as I read the script, Kelly says, I knew I wanted to play the character. There were so many levels to Christy that I wanted the chance to immerse myself in the darkside of her life. And it's so rare an intense woman's role comes along, Kelly continues.
When you meet Kelly in person you realize this gritty role showcases her ability to become almost unrecognizable. Delving deep into the psyche of Christy is a testament to how seriously she takes her craft.
The movie Turn Around is a woman's story of her struggles and desperation of life's choices. After seeing Kelly Ryan create such a believable character, you find yourself looking forward to seeing who she becomes in her next juicy role.
