Look (2009 film)  Look is a 2009 short film written and directed by Ryan Pickett. "Look" is about a barmaid, Emma (Starina Johnson), who is caught in a daydream when interrupted by a lost model (Theresa Meeker). The desire for beauty reveals an unsettling emptiness. In an interview with Matthew Saliba of Rogue Cinema, Pickett said, "I feel so alive as a director when making films like this. It's pure emotion. What can we tell you from just our eyes? What are you seeing with yours? Essentially what "Look" is about. Perception and how it works in our lives. The story was just part of the whole, I knew what I wanted to accomplish in this film and worked on a story that would allow that. There actually was a bit more dialogue in the film that I decided to cut out. The story is what you create in your head while watching it, not one I wrote. Or that was my intention." In an interview with Saliba, Meeker said, "Ryan really left its meaning up to interpretation. There are so many different ways that people could think about Look without being wrong in their analysis of it." "Look" was premiered at the Regal Cinemas theatre in Green Hills, Tennessee, in spring 2009. "Look" has distribution through IndieFlix and Indiepix Films online video streaming services. "Look" was directed, co-written, produced and edited by Ryan Pickett, who was a top five finalist in the Race to BE entrepreneurship competition hosted by Russell Simmons in Los Angeles. "Look" was shot with the Red One 4K in Nashville, Tennessee. "Look" was received with praise from critics for its visual poetry:
