The Avant-Gardener (2017)
Inspired by the music of Lindsay Katt, The Avant-Gardener follows the colorful life of an artist discovering her voice. As she learns from the mistakes of her parents, she struggles to find the balance between self-expression, commitment to her lovers, and the intense drive to further her creative passion. We follow her journey as she delves deep into her subconscious, an often terrifying place, to find the answers she seeks.
Directors: Lindsay Katt, Jeremiah Kipp, Heather Matarazzo, Carl Byrd.
