UPDATE: The bilingual documentary short, Un Nuevo Capítulo / A New Chapter, that I directed and produced was selected as a finalist in the Best Micro Film category of the Winter 2021 Oregon Documentary Film Festival. Go TEAM!
Un Nuevo Capítulo / A New Chapter, Directed by Deanna Schultz (Colorado) - With over 2.3 million Americans behind bars - an estimated 241,000 in California according to the Prison Policy Initiative - mass incarceration is a serious problem in the United States. With a passion for social justice, prison reform, and a deep devotion to service, see how one San Diego yoga teacher is using her training to help incarcerated individuals develop self-awareness, a sense of worth, and learn self-regulation through specialized trauma-informed yoga techniques. Lindsey Paoloni’s mission is to empower these individuals to make better choices to eventually make a positive impact upon re-entry into society. And, therefore, reduce the rate of recidivism. "My mission is educating, empowering, and inspiring individuals through creative activism. "Dream big! Follow your heart. You will run into obstacles, and when you do, welcome them and continue moving forward." — Deanna Schultz
