“Polygamy and Me,” is a 14 minute documentary made by Lareena Smith describing her own ten year journey into Mormon polygamy. Combining real photographs with re-enactments, this film is a humorous look at daily life inside a Mormon polygamist marriage--full of ups and downs, jealousy, and odd moments.

This film breaks down stereotypes--showing modern polygamists wearing blue jeans and watching TV. Surprisingly light yet with serious moments, it is a sensitive and authentic portrayal of an underground culture. |

“Polygamy and Me” was shot in color on 16mm film using an Arri-BL and Arri-S. It took one year and four months to complete at the cost of about $5000 and was made at the University of Utah Film Studies Division. Brian Patrick was the faculty advisor for this project. |
