For her first film since graduating from NYFA’s MFA in Filmmaking program, Savannah Sivert partnered with writer-director Taylor Hinds to make The Tale of the Daughter. The film is based on an estranged daughter who is taking care of her stroke-ridden mother when a dangerous acquaintance arrives to collect on an old debt. The quirky western-themed allegory was shot in Northern California, twenty-five miles outside of Yosemite, in the historic Gold Rush town Groveland, and it was a labor of love among a group of filmmaker friends who have formed a production company called Moonshine Pictures.
