“I had the pleasure of receiving story feedback from Ann Wilkinson Ellis
on a rough cut of my independently directed documentary, filmed in rural India. Ann approached the cut with a fresh, discerning eye—bringing her wealth of experience as a film producer and acting teacher into a clear, articulate critique.”
