Young Charlotte is a filmmaker who loves everything that's black and
white, including spiders, penguins, and the old movies that she sees
with her dad at the Golden Theatre (where the floors are sticky). With
her camera at the ready wherever she goes, she finds inspiration for
movies everywhere she looks. But when her colorful parents and colorful
classmates just don't "get" her, she's ready to give up--until a lucky
encounter with a film curator at The Museum of Modern Art in New York
changes her perspective. Inspired by the films she sees at MoMA and
stories of other pioneering directors, Charlotte gets to work. And it's
hard work! But when her movie finally premieres at the Museum, Charlotte
is thrilled to be doing exactly what she loves best.
A follow-up to Frank Viva's Young Frank, Architect and perfect for
film lovers, aspiring directors, and artists of all stripes, Young
Charlotte, Filmmaker is an inspiring tale.
