In the documentary "Seeking Mavis Beacon," filmmaker Jazmin Renée Jones explores the impact of the iconic typing tutor program, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, on society and the digital realm. The film delves into the commodification and anthropomorphization of marginalized bodies in the tech industry, while also revealing the true identity of Mavis Beacon.

Through interviews and their own investigation, they confront issues of Black representation in the industry and uncover shocking revelations. This hybrid documentary offers a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, race, and identity.
