In seven minutes, this film will invite the audience to learn something new and be challenged and encouraged by Annie’s perspective, despite growing up in a world that has an opposing idea of how she ought to embrace being different.
Artist Statement:
This documentary is the first film I have ever created. I feel very fortunate to have had Annie Kadlecek as my subject. She is awesome and was extremely patient as I got acquainted with equipment and constructed a storyline. Piecing a story together was the toughest part. I wanted to feature a familiar face, but shed some light on an aspect of her life that fewer people are familiar with. I believe Annie has a mindset that the audience will be inspired by and that was my goal for this documentary--- to capture who she is. Through a variety of close-up shots, interview and photos, my objective was to show Annie’s depth of character while even educating others.
