About the Judith (Judy) the Filmmaker

“The Healing of Heather Garden” – my first film, knocked my socks off winning incredible awards around the world. including a Gold “Filmmaker of the Year,” in Jakarta. I could not have anticipated such recognition. Most dear to me: the heartwarming comments from the community about what this work meant for them & the incredible support of a world wide family of Filmmakers.

I am a catalyst for change, opening doors and expanding options. Experienced in challenging situations, my background includes child and family therapy as Licensed Social Worker and Clinician (MSW, RSW, BSW); building a sense of community and sense of control in inner city by developing groups and programs when needs were identified, educator at a community college.
