Description
A character study as well as a meditation on communication, creativity, and physical space, Take What You Can Carry is a picture of a young woman seen through the interiors she occupies and the company she keeps.

A North American living abroad, Lilly aspires to shape an intimate and private place of her own while connecting to the world around her. When she receives a letter from home, it provides the conduit she needs to fuse her transient self with the person she’s always known herself to be.

The first film made outside his native Baltimore, Take What You Can Carry is another brilliant work exploring place, stasis and transition from Matt Porterfield, director of I Used To Be Darker (2013), Putty Hill (2011) and Hamilton (2006).
