Through Zoom, they discuss how the novel can be presented visually. In an unfortunate twist, one of the artists disappeared after agreeing. So this artist is replaced by ChatGPT. The six human artists are Anderson Ee, Fahmi Mustaffa, Hannah, Mark Lee See Teck, Syuq Tone and Yante Ismail.

After years of being silenced through violent opposition, Norma Burton, one of the key founders of the first women’s shelter in Tulsa, OK, tells an untold story of the battered women's movement. In the late 1970s and early 1980’s LGBTQ, BIPOC, and formerly abused women across the US gathered in secret to create a grassroots movement that became today's National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, despite persecution and death threats. Norma recounts to her daughter, director Nisha Burton, how she and her collaborators alerted the police of rising cases of domestic violence and ultimately decided to take matters into their own hands by conducting support gatherings in their homes around the kitchen table. These meetings led to the founding of the first battered women’s shelter in Tulsa, OK in 1975. The years that followed were filled with harassment and verbal and physical attacks on Norma and fellow organizers, but today these courageous advocates continue to support the movement.

Scenes shift between the mundane and the profound, forming a nonlinear tapestry of female experience—desire, limitation, resilience. A voice, both singular and collective, narrates in diary-like reflections, speaking of love, shame, pleasure, and the unspoken rules that shape their bodies and choices. Shot in a cinéma vérité style, the film’s grainy, handheld aesthetic mirrors the imperfection and authenticity of memory, blurring the line between personal and universal. Fleeting moments flicker and dissolve, immersing the viewer in a rhythmic flow of images and emotions. As time loops and fragments, The Land of Wanting More becomes both an intimate confession and a quiet rebellion—an ode to the complexities of womanhood, caught between wanting, waiting, an
