An intimate and occasionally humorous look into the extraordinary erotic lives of four seemingly ordinary people, BORN IN A BARN takes us deep into the world of ponyplay, a fetish in which enthusiasts role-play as human ponies and handlers. Revealing the complex motives that drive each character to pursue this unusual passion and following them as they each confront the questions that being an erotic equine present, BORN IN A BARN is a film about finding an identity in the pursuit of an unconventional desire. BORN IN A BARN was partially funded by The Jerome Foundation and The New York State Council on the Arts and fiscally sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts and Women make Movies. It showed at the 2002 IFP as a Documentary Work-In-Progress.
