Timed to SXSW, Freestyle Digital Media has picked up the North American rights to the music-driven documentary Finding Lucinda.
Directed by Joel Fendelman, the road movie follows singer-songwriter Ismay, also known as Avery Hellman, on a quest to track down her hero and music icon Lucinda Williams and the people and places that shaped her early career. The doc, which premiered at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, is set for a fall 2024 release by the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group.
Finding Lucinda features interviews with Charlie Sexton — who played with Williams when he was 11 years old and she was a little-known songwriter in Austin — Buddy Miller, Mary Gauthier, Josh Baca and Max Baca of Los Texmaniacs, Wolf Stephenson and John Grimaudo, Williams’ guitarist from her first record.
The film was written by Fendelman and Hellman, and produced by Liz McBee, Chuck Prophet and Jennifer Steinman Sternin.
