M.F.A.is directed by Natalia Leite and written by Leah McKendrick.
The film costars Clifton Collins Jr. and Peter Vack.
Leite says she wanted to make this movie because of her own experience.
When I was in my late teens I was sexually assaulted by a boy in my art school.
I felt sick for days.
Angry, confused, ashamed, alone.
But no matter how often I claimed amnesia, I couldnt shake it.
Sadly, my story is all too familiar for too many women.
Women are constantly bullied into being silent and feeling responsible for someone elses crime.
That silence manifests itself in psychological effects that can be seen even years after the assault takes place.

M.F.A.opens in theaters, on VOD, and via HD Digital, Oct. 13.
