“Elena Parasco is a young director who has dedicated her film work to putting feminine power and teamwork in front of her lens. Whether creating poetic images of the New York City Ballet for T Magazine , showing the girls from the Chinatown basketball team downtowngirlsbball for iD, or tackling the issues of inequality through the point of view of migrants, feminists and athletes in Locker Room Talk for Nike, the director based in New York does not miss the opportunity to use her platform and talent to publicize the unheard voices.”
