Sean Ono Lennon is stepping behind the camera for the first time with “threeASFOUR: FULL CIRCLE,” a documentary about three designers who’ve been challenging the fashion world for over 25 years.

The film follows Gabi Asfour, Angela Donhauser, and Adi Gil, the trio behind avant-garde fashion collective threeASFOUR. They’ve built a cult following by creating clothes inspired by natural forms and pioneering techniques. Their work has landed in global museum exhibitions and on the backs of Björk and Chloë Sevigny.

But acclaim doesn’t pay the bills. The doc shows the constant struggle to survive in an industry obsessed with commerce when you’d rather focus on creativity and collaboration. It’s a moving portrait of artists trying to make it on their own terms.

Lennon co-directed with Brian C. González, who also handled cinematography. Jenny Golden wrote and edited the film, with Beth Levison producing.

“threeASFOUR: FULL CIRCLE” opens at New York’s Film Forum on November 13 before rolling out nationwide this fall.

For independent creators fighting to balance art and survival, this one hits close to home. It’s a reminder that even designers with museum shows and celebrity fans still face the same battle, staying true to their vision when the system wants something easier to sell.
