    Oscar-nominated short documentary directed by Jay Rosenblatt

    How Do You Measure a Year?

    For 17 years, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday, asking the same questions. In a mere 29 minutes we see a girl go from a toddler to a young woman with all the beautiful and sometimes awkward stages in between while the father/daughter relationship evolves in all its complexities.
