Director’s Statement
I am a woman director, writer , producer and actress, and I did this all for BARDO BLUES on a shoe string budget.
This story is based on my brother’s struggle with mental illness and I live in Brooklyn.
It would be an honor to be in this festival. We have won 12 awards and have had an amazing response to the movie.
I love that WIFF supports woman.
