The Stage, the Sciences, the Screen: The Journeys of Writer-Director Charlotte Wincott

This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois sits down with a fellow graduate of Mills E. Godwin High School, award-winning screenwriter & director Charlotte Wincott. After being heavily involved in theatre and music, Charlotte started a new journey into neuroscience for many years, and then returned to the arts by helming various short films and, most recently, her first feature film The Issue with Elvis. Starring her husband Jeff and son Wolfgang, Charlotte has turned a personal pandemic project into one that's winning one award after another on the film festival circuit and will be available for purchase on March 15, 2022.
