IMA alum Samantha Farinella @samantha_farinella is making alot of progress on the film, The Road to Independence (working title) and has a GoFundMe and a page on Women Make Movies to seek support for production and post. “It’s rare in the United States to see a film exclusively showcasing the Vietnamese experience of the Vietnam War. The Road to Independence will cover a side of the war that hasn’t been examined by most Americans.” IMA alum Tatiana Stolpovskaya is the DP on the film.
