This World is Not My Own New Film in Development
Mythical forest creatures, chewing gum sculptures, handmade dolls, a firebrand wrestler, a Kuwaiti art school for kids, a wealthy arts patron, a century old murder case and the segregated south – it’s all part of Nellie Mae Rowe’s fantastical universe. This World is Not My Own reimagines this self-taught artist’s life from 1900 to 1982, a tumultuous and transformative time in our nation’s history.
An Opendox film, in collaboration with the Judith Alexander Foundation, written and directed by Petter Ringbom, and produced by Ruchi Mital.
