SEE YOU IN AUGUST

As a Gen Xer, I was raised in a radical era of visionary aspiration and lived on a back-to-the-land commune in the 70s co-founded by my parents. My worldview continued to develop influenced by my mother’s growing consciousness during the Second Wave of Feminism. These formative experiences fanned the flames of my own coming of age in the 90s as queer and feminist and as a filmmaker passionate about social justice and the natural world. I’ve been very aware of MichFest throughout my adult life but didn’t attend, this gives me the advantage of objectivity coupled by a natural connection. I’m honoured to be trusted with this significant story and to collaborate with a stellar team to explore the past through a current cultural lens. Inspired by the festival’s radical spirit of innovation, our film will marry content with form to build an inventive narrative structure that conveys and invites a transformative worldview.
