Why not create a documentary about how this wonderful actress decided and became a nun! Also, could she tell us more on the importance of a shaved head and how she feels about her shaved head!
I would love to create a documentary about her :). The importance of shaving your head in monastic traditions is to renounce your worldly connection. Such as your sexual identity, and your connection to wanting to establish your ego in the mundane world. We talked a little bit about that off camera 🙂 Find me a backer, and I will definitely go for it 🙂
