Local film producer Jackie Nico talks about her new project, "The Ballad of the Bushmere," and the submission process for the Sundance Film Festival.
The film, which blends elements of a Western and poetry, follows a young girl separated from her mother in 19th-century Australia. Shot in both Australia and Park City, the project was a collaborative effort, including sweat equity and crowdfunding via Indiegogo. The film, running about an hour and 15 minutes, is set to premiere at Sundance as a pilot for a potential television series. Nico and Rose are co-producers, co-directors, and actors in the film.
