Director Statement

I was introduced to Ilka Hartmann and her work in the process of directing another film, Indianland. Ilka's life and work really do merit a feature-length film. But for now, I hope that this can suffice to celebrate her and to introduce her to those that don't yet know and appreciate her work.
