THIS WORLD IS NOT MY OWN about Atlanta folk artist Nellie Mae Rowe combines informative documentary with innovative animation. Uzo Aduba voices Rowe. It premiered at SXSW and can currently be watched online via Atlanta Film Festival in the US and Hot Docs in Canada.
Miss Viborg
MISS VIBORG can currently be watched online via Atlanta Film Festival. It’s a sweet and very Scandinavian dramedy, the kind that Hollywood loves to remake like A Man Called Ove. If it happens, my casting suggestions are Margo Martindale and Alan Alda.
Hundreds of Beavers
If you are a fan of slapstick silent comedies and animation, head over to the virtual platform of Atlanta Film Festival this weekend to watch Mike Cheslik’s HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS. It is incredibly creative and very funny.

Dusty & Stones
The fun little documentary DUSTY & STONES can be enjoyed by everyone, but if you are a music person, you’ll get a bigger kick out of it. It follows the country duo from their hometown in Swaziland to a music competition in Texas. Available to watch virtually via Atlanta Film Festival.
