There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

My friend Robbie told me about the film and I watched the film. It was very good.The director had an interesting message to tell and he told it well. I am a film major and am hoping to make some good films soon. CHASING BEAUTY provides a rare glimpse into the intriguing and complex world of modeling. Behind the glossy covers of Vogue and Glamour lie the rarely talked about, uncensored stories of what models endure and sacrifice to become a top model. CHASING BEAUTY examines body image and the psychological effects of the beauty business on young women and men. The film examines what it takes to be a top model - the demanding and oftentimes unattainable physical requirements of the position, the financial and emotional investment, and the moral negotiations that are sometimes prerequisites for making it. The film follows supermodels, photographers, agents, designers, plastic surgeons, make-up artists and psychologists and asks the question...what is beauty and is it worth the cost?

Great job Brent!!! **** Very engaging**** I loved how the movie was sincere, bold, genuine & educational. The movie exposes a raw truth for males & females; about how great & hard the climb to being a model is. I learned a few things involving the extremes models are willing to go through to fight their hunger or keep a certain size. One model didn't get her "period" until her twenties because she was so thin. I didn't know that was possible. This movie gave really good insight to the beauty industry. With every dream you face risks & other options to take but it's up to us to keep moving in a good direction. I'm looking forward to Brent's next movie. ~G

This is a great documentary about fashion models and the ups and downs of trying to make it in the industry. The pace is quick and skillful as it volleys back and forth between the horror stories of experienced models and the trials and tribulations of up and comers. Fascinating interviews with seasoned models Hoyt Richards and Beverly Peele mine the creepy underbelly of their personal experiences. To tell how they earned a little cash on the side, or to tell how they spent their surplus millions would spoil the suspense. It's better to hear it from the people themselves, as they use the documentary camera as a confessional. Filmmakers also follow a selection of young, hot billboard types as they try to stay thin, work out, and meet agents. And the only real criteria for them is whether or not they have "it", whatever "it" is that models have. There's no way to learn "it", there's no way to practice "it", it's just something models… HAVE. The mysterious force that leads to fame and fortune and shampoo endorsements. Chasing Beauty is a funny and satisfying journey, and makes you question exactly how glamorous the spotlight really is. Kudos to the filmmakers.

I recently watched "Chasing Beauty" at the Kansas City, Missouri screening and it was absolutely fantastic! Brent Huff did an outstanding job putting this film together and the results couldn't have been any more intriguing. The stories he weaved throughout the film took a rare, inside look at the modeling industry and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Brent asked all of the right questions and the models, agents and other participants in the film gave some very straightforward and honest answers to give the viewers a true picture of this glamorous, fast paced and sometimes heartbreaking business. I was truly amazed at the behind the scenes information revealed in this film. I've already watched it a second time!
