Linda Notelovitz has worked in over 20 countries creating beautiful and moving content for top brands globally. Her filmmaking style seeks to hold the audience in a space of emotional involvement and connection. Her work touches that which is universal in our humanity, enabling messaging and communication of brand experiences through her interpretation.
Having never met Cynthia,I approached the shoot with a verité spirit. Rather than scripting the direction or predetermining the shots, I left this to the spontaneity of the meeting. The conversation & time together organically steered the direction to an authentic and natural narrative and vision for the film. A commentary on acceptance and the simplicity of her purpose to be just as she is. It is through Cynthia’s voice that her message is shared. Meeting and shooting in her space, which is a piece of wilderness off a main road that she calls her church, the essence of Cynthia’s spirit led me to feel the vision, and see the shots I wanted, and in this way the story was allowed to unfold, live.
Observing Cynthia, I tuned in to her soul song, the dance and rhythm of her energy. There existed no border to her heart. The feeling of this became the visual language of my film: an authentic, raw, sharing of space and time.
