"Reflect" Filmmaker: Lou Duchin

Helping people feel seen, make days brighter & inspire to live as themselves

Instagram: @louduchin

Lou Duchin (she/they) is currently an MFA screenwriting student at the Rochester Institute of Technology with bachelor’s degrees in Theatre Arts and Mass Communications from the University of South Florida. Lou’s mission is to tell stories that help people feel seen, to make their days brighter and to inspire them to live truthfully as themselves. This is Lou's first short film as a film student. Most recently, Lou was a finalist in the 2023 Coca-Cola Refreshing Films Program for their joint animated/live action ad "How's the View?"

Lou was inspired to tell this story from the countless house museum visits she has gone to with her mom. She is someone who loves history and seeing where people lived. Each time they would go, if there was a mirror, they would find themselves asking “how many people have looked in here before us? What were their stories?” They believe that objects have just as many stories as the people who owned them.



When a new mirror is brought into a family’s home, it opens a window into their lives as hard decisions teach them about love, life and identity over generations.
