2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #45. Jennifer Reeder – Knives and Skin

Date:

An artist and film fest circuit habitual, filmmaker Jennifer Reeder‘s looks to be moving out of the short film sphere (the Sundance selected 2014 short A Million Miles Away is just one in a long resume) and comfortably into Knives and Skin. Recently selected as one of the four US in Progress projects in Wroclaw, Reeder has been “hacking” away at this moody ensemble piece for a while now. A major film fest showing is in the cards.

Production Co./Producers: Brian and Jan Hieggelke
