Annie Waldman speaks about her RFF experience to the 2008/9 Fellows during an October workshop
Congratulations to Annie Waldman, one of last year’s Reach Film Fellows. Her film, “So the Wind Won’t Blow it All Away,” has been selected as part of the 2009 Sundance Festival’s Short Film Program. Annie’s doc, follows a group of students who return to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to finish high school with their friends despite their parents’ relocation and absence.
New York Magazine said of the film, “Utilizing a lyrical, expressive mise-en-scène, with otherworldly music from Louisville band Rachel’s, Waldman effectively conveys the experience of these kids’ dislocation, even as their lives still seem full of possibility.”

- We are thrilled for Annie, and hope that her accomplishment will serve as inspiration for this year’s Fellows as they strive to achieve all they can with their Reach Film Fellowship Films.

So Amazing Annie… very proud of you and your film (which I’ve secretly passed on to some of my friends as “brilliant” work)!
