Director Biography - Heather D. Pattengale

Heather has been working professionally in the theatre for over a decade as an award-winning actor, playwright and director. She is in love with story, and believes that the stories we tell can inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. She wants to make the world a better place and fill it with beautiful things. When Heather was a kid she used to make movies at home with the camcorder all the time, but that all stopped when she started working in the theatre. Decades later, she's curious about getting back to that initial impulse. This is her first film.
