About the Film:
Finding Lucinda follows singer-songwriter ISMAY (Avery Hellman) on a transformative road trip through the American South, exploring the early life and enduring legacy of three-time GRAMMY-winning artist Lucinda Williams. Along the way, the film features never-before-seen footage, rare recordings, and interviews with Charlie Sexton, Buddy Miller, Mary Gauthier, and Lucinda herself.
Directed by Joel Fendelman (Man on Fire) and featuring cinematography by Rose Bush (Colette), the film is a soulful meditation on music, identity, and what it means to forge your own creative path. Part memoir, part music history, and part spiritual road trip, Finding Lucinda is ultimately a story about self-discovery, artistic bravery, and learning how to move forward — even when you’re unsure where the road will lead.
