Hermione
2013 · Film · short · 9 min
Directed by Nina Yuen
In Hermione, I combined the biographies of Simone de Beauvoir, Twyla Tharpe, Dorothy Parker, Vera Nabokov, and Hilda Dolittle to tell a woman's story in an unnamed, multiple "I." By turning an external biography into an internal autobiography, I attempt to take universalist stories and lend them the language of the confessional. (Nina Yuen)

I think the problem with this concept is your premise is based around functionality while your reasoning is based around purchasing. Frankly I almost never think about the app icon once purchased, it’s like reading names in books. I almost never know how to pronounce characters until I have to say them aloud, then for the life of me I have no idea how they sound. Case in point: (until the movie came out) how you pronounced “Hermione” (weird example I know). Back to the point, the icon itself gets it recognized for purchase…making it more harmonious with your app experience once downloaded is an ancillary benefit at best?
