Title: Dear Appalachia
Director/Producer: Ashley York

Logline: Dear Appalachia is a documentary series that highlights a commonly misunderstood place within the United States. Each episode has its own narrative arc and interweaves multiple narrative threads, using cinéma vérité storytelling combined with personal interviews and archival material. Each episode will be directed and produced by filmmakers from the region in an effort to empower Appalachians to tell their own stories.
I’m thrilled to be among the fellows with my partners John & Ashley York in being selected into Film Independent + CNN Original Series docuseries intensive for our project, “Dear Appalachia.”
I described this to my kids as Mom got to an NBA training camp. That doesn’t mean I made it to the league but sure learned how to play better ball! 🙌🏾
