Left Turn

An Emmy-Award-winning short film about a middle class man whose assumptions about poverty are challenged by an unexpected encounter during his morning jog.

Neighborhood Revitalization

Though Left Turn is a fictional narrative, it reflects real circumstances. The film was produced to help viewers develop a better understanding of under-resourced neighborhoods and highlight holistic neighborhood revitalization efforts happening in and around Evansville, IN. Many components of the story are based off of real events and facts about Evansville collected through interviews and other research.

The goal of the film is to inspire viewers to embrace the neighbors near them and every neighbor living in Evansville, especially those in under-resourced areas.
