The Series

The first three cinematic portraits in the Woman’s Picture Series are “Miriam,” “Loretta,” and “Ingrid.”

This ten year series will result in an expanding gallery of these short films, intersecting some of their stories over time.

Visit Tableau de Parfums to learn more about the fragrances perfumer Andy Tauer has created in collaboration with these films.

Brian Pera on the series and Tableau de Parfums™:

“I’m interested in sticking with a group of performers and filmmakers so that we can develop together. I want to capture that development on film—and over time to look at the characters we create from different points of view, depending where we’re at in our lives. I want to build characters I feel like we know and can keep getting to know, and to look at characters in ways movies are often too promiscuous and flighty to see. I want to create a narrative universe, or neighborhood, where all these people might live.”

“I invited perfumer Andy Tauer to collaborate with me on fragrances that develop alongside these characters—because I’m fascinated with perfume and because the women in my childhood, who inspired the Woman’s Picture portraits, were too.”
