Mirar Mirror dir. Stacey Holman "Smile, click, smile, click." The world of modeling sounds appealing to most, but through the eyes Denise Scott, it's an emotional and physical roller coaster.  Mirar Mirror, explores and exposes the days and nights of an ambitious African American Super Model.  Her mother, her agent, her photographer and her ex-boyfriend, each have an emotional strong hold on her life.   Their comments and suggestions affect her to an extreme point of no return.  It's about sacrificing values and beliefs, taking chances, changing the way you look to accommodate others and paying a price to be a star.  Striving for "American standard of beauty," is hard work.
