#Ontheblog, 2025 Documentary Producing Lab #FiFellow Bryn Silverman tells us how she shaped 6 years of footage into True/False Film Festival hit ‘Pinball’. After years unsettled and traveling from Iraq to Jordan and Egypt, refugee Yosef Al Windawi settled in Louisville, KY, and started to live a suburban American life. To fully capture his coming-of-age experience, Silverman and Director Naveen Chaubal shot with Yosef and his family for six years. Last year, Silverman brought a rough cut to the #FilmIndependent Documentary Producing Lab, where she was able to hone the film with the help of mentors and her cohort.
