Set within a monastery in Rockford, Illinois, Chosen forms a portrait, through self-scrutinizing video recordings, of a former blogger and painter confronting what she believes is her calling: Becoming a cloistered contemplative nun in one of the strictest religious orders. Chosen is a coming of age story about “Heather” — the newest member of the 800-year-old religious order — tracing her interior journey as she becomes “Sister Amata”. This collaborative film grants viewers a unique encounter with an otherwise remote world.
