Anora (2024) with Erin Prus

from DESIGNERS ON FILM · host Jason Tselentis

Erin Prus is a design leader living in the heart of the Midwest, focused on the ways words (and their systems and styles) shape design, along with UI design elements, accessibility, and more. Her experience spans copywriting in advertising; short and long form in publishing; editorial, brand-building, and big healthcare. She sees her love of language at the center of many design experiences. Erin shared her thoughts on Anora, in an episode recorded well before the Oscars, where the movie won many statues. Sean Baker's movie tells the story of an exotic dancer from Brooklyn, she is also an escort. Anora, who goes by Ani, meets a young, wealthy Russian boy but their romance and subsequent marriage go from Cinderella story to a maelstrom of unfortunate events.-A teacher-journalist turned content designer and UX writer, Erin Prus is no stranger to career pivots. She's been consulting for two seemingly disparate clients in the health tech and horticulture spaces, two things she cares deeply about. Also, she's scheduled to wrap up a forthcoming memoir later this year. When she's not working, Erin loves being outside, spending time with her French Bulldog Rumi, doing Pilates, and watching movies with her son.https://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/article/rachel-chertoffs-bedside-jewelry-is-the-kind-you-never-want-to-take-off/ https://www.edibleohiovalley.com/eov/2022/cincy-urban-farm?rq=CincyUrbanhttps://www.fotofocus.org/2018/10/30/the-biennial-in-book-form/ https://mooprintms.wpengine.com/blog/inspiration/behind-brand-refresh-500px#more-12827-Anora (2024) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/intimacy-coordinators-challengers-porn-hollywood-oscar-1235910610/ https://medium.com/elucidationtoday/intimacy-coordinator-creating-a-culture-of-consent-in-filmmaking-a805ed4b747e https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/movies/sean-baker-oscars-anora.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/25/movies/anora-palme-dor-sean-baker.html https://variety.com/2024/film/news/anora-intimacy-coordinator-respond-mikey-madison-sean-baker-1236254012/ https://variety.com/2024/film/news/pamela-anderson-mikey-madison-anora-intimacy-coordinators-1236241323/ https://variety.com/2025/film/awards/anora-oscars-frontrunner-final-voting-begins-1236303199/ https://youtu.be/EMTHwp1UPjk?si=XQ5TOmzBGVhS9WIL -Sean Baker and typographyhttps://fonts.google.com/specimen/Aguafina+Script https://letterboxd.com/journal/sag-awards-independent-spirit-sean-baker-anora/https://www.fastcompany.com/91289352/why-sean-baker-uses-the-same-font-in-every-one-of-his-movieshttps://mubi.com/en/notebook/posts/movie-poster-of-the-week-the-sean-baker-font -Stockholm Syndromehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome https://www.history.com/news/stockholm-syndrome -Other movies discussed, alphabetical listBachelor Party (1984)Hustlers (2019)Night Shift (1982)Tangerine (2015)Zola (2020)
