Seeking Mavis Beacon
Jazmin Jones
This film will be followed by a 20 minute Q&A
The 1980s software 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' taught millions globally, but its Haitian-born cover model, Renée L’Esperance, vanished decades ago. DIY detectives Jazmin (Director) and Olivia (Associate Producer) set out on a search for L'Esperance and investigate the creation of her online persona.
