For those of you who were able to join us on Wednesday night for our "Breaking In" Panel, you already know how great Emily Abt is. Articulate and inspiring, Emily has gone from case worker to a rising star in the film industry.
Last year she debuted her first feature, Toe to Toe, at the Sundance Film Festival. This film is a coming of age story of two high school lacrosse teammates in the DC area leading very different lives. One is from privileged white suburbia, and one is a black student who commutes long distances for her education. Emily's film portrays these two young women as incredibly rich and complex characters that are constantly challenging us to think what is right and what is wrong.
We encourage you to head out to the Village East, Second Avenue at 12th Street, East Village this weekend (after you come to our events on Saturday, of course!) and check out Emily's film.
Even the NYTimes' A.O. Scott thinks this film is a treat--he named it a Critic's Pick! Hey oh!
