A New York-based filmmaker, Annie P. Waldman graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in Film & Television.

The film focused on homeless high school students growing up on their own in New Orleans.

A screening of the film was also held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, and in September, it had its national broadcast premiere on PBS’s P.O.V. documentary series.
