It's been two long years since the sharp-witted Jay McCarroll was dubbed 'the next great American designer' on season one of TV's Project Runway, and he's anxious to finally show his first line of clothing. The feature documentary, Eleven Minutes, chronicles his year-long journey designing and preparing his first independent runway show for New York's Fashion Week in Bryant Park and the subsequent selling of his line to stores. The goal of this documentary is to drop the pretenses of reality TV and focus on the work. All this is told in strict verite through the eyes of the articulate and entertaining Jay McCarroll, whose experience exposes us not only to the inner workings of the fashion industry and his love/hate relationship to it, but to the creative process in general.

How Do I Look captured the Harlem "Ball" traditions that originated in the 70’s, an historically off shot from the Harlem "Drag Balls" from the 20’s. Because of the loss of hundreds of members of the "Ball" community due to the HIV epidemic, How Do I Look recorded an important aspect of the history and legacy. HDIL focused on the Icon and Legend Pepper Labeija, Willi Ninja, Tracy Africa, Kevin Omni, Jose Xtravaganza and Octavia St. Laurent, who took their talents outside the "Ball" community successfully and opened many doors for their community.
