After graduating from NYU, her first film –a documentary about her Father’s devastating and life-threatening accident– won the Director’s award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. In 2000, her installation piece entitled Said in Passing was featured at both the Tate Modern and PS1 galleries. Her most recent feature film, Day Night Day Night , won the Youth Prize at Cannes Director’s Fortnight, as well as the Cine-Discovery prize at the Royal Belgian Cinémathèque. No small potatoes for this young cineaste.
