Three white people sit at a table together, each with a set of white papers in front of them. The figure on the far left is a bald man in his 60s, who reads the papers intently. The figure in the center is a person in their late 20s, who looks to a woman in her 60s with blonde hair, who holds the papers in her hands and looks back at them. A caption appears over the image that reads: “My mom looks at me, as I speak. My dad looks down at the contract.”

Synopsis
Made over five years, SHARED RESOURCES follows the director's family after they go bankrupt in the aftermath of the Katrina hurricane. Depicting domestic life and casual conversations negotiating their representation onscreen, the film uses audio descriptions of the image to ask in-depth questions about the significance of material and sentimental debt alike.
