TESTIMONIALS

“Lynette was my final advisor during the writing portion of the Sundance Directors Lab in 2020. Our session was scheduled at the end of the month-long lab and by the time we were finally due to talk, I was ready for a break. A break I did not get. Instead, over the course of two intense hours, Lynette pushed me on the most complex, interior aspects of my script and held me accountable to character in a way I had successfully wriggled out of in every other session. She offered as much of herself as she asked of from me and with rigour and empathy helped me confront the aspects of my project that were uncomfortable, but essential. With an eye to helping me understand my own intentions, Lynette’s advice prompted the last substantial redraft of Aftersun, centred on the subject of our discussion, that finally made whole what had previously been parts.”

Charlotte Wells, Director of the multi award winning film Aftersun

"Lynette helps by showing you the soul of your work and handing it back to you so that, seeing it, you can never forget it again." 

Lally Katz - Writer

“Lynette Wallworth has been a dynamic, generous, compassionate and wise Advisor to Sundance artists for over 10 years at our many Labs supporting emerging and mid-career creators. We have also been honoured to premiere her astounding and powerful work at our Sundance Film Festival where she has inspired tens of thousands of artists through presenting her work and always being available for deep conversations about her creative process. Lynette is one of our most valued Advisors and her contribution to the learning, humanity and imagination of so many artists has simply been transformative.”

Michelle Satter - Founding Senior Director, Artist Programs, Sundance Institute

“I worked with Lynette as a script consultant in the early stages of writing my feature film. Her gift as an artist and collaborator is helping you identify the soul of your project and pushing you to reach for the most compelling version of it. Her insight and deep intelligence emboldened me to take risks whilst staying true to my vision. I would work with Lynette again in a heartbeat.”

Sophie Miller - Writer/director/producer

“Work shopping your ideas with Lynette Wallworth is an experience like no other. The empathy and understanding that she exudes finds you opening yourself up, and thinking creatively in ways you didn’t know you had in you. You will feel safe. You will feel emboldened. You will also be inspired by her own example as an artist. She thinks outside of the box and takes audiences into spaces, real and imagined, that are truly expansive and leave an indelible mark on your soul.”

Sophie Raymond - Director

"We have worked with Lynette since 2008 on all of our feature films—THE WAY WE GET BY, BENEATH THE HARVEST SKY and QUEENPINS.  Lynette has a natural gift and talent for breaking down a story and finding ways to strengthen it. She is an incredible storyteller who can examine a script or a rough cut and  find the emotional core of the story, making it clearer, stronger, and full of heart. We have been grateful to have Lynette's guidance through the years and would strongly recommend her for any filmmaker serious about releasing their film nationally and internationally."

Aron Gaudet & Gita Pullapilly - Writers, Producers, Directors Sunny Side Up Films

“Lynette Wallworth is a true empath. Her ability to understand different creative processes and suggest ways forward is deep. She worked with me creating a public interactive inter-generational archive of memories from the Guatemalan genocide called GRANITO: Every Memory Matters. Together we worked out how to combine imagery that reflects the beauty of the human condition and squarely confronts these crimes against humanity. Her connection with nature, with spirituality, and with our shared humanity is inspiring.”

Pamela Yates - President and Co-Founder of Skylight Pictures

“Lynette is not only a consummate artist and storyteller she is also a brilliant mentor to others working across disciplines. I regularly run creative story and technology labs - and over and over again, participants report that Lynette is the person with whom they were able to discover their core story, find the "aha" moment that clarified the project in its truest sense - where the idea really takes flight. Lynette doesn't provide the answers for you - she asks the questions that reveal the truths inside the story, she listens intently and helps you express yourself in the work and find the path where the audience can take hold. She's it. Start the journey with her, and she will guide you long after.”

Wendy Levy, Executive Director of the Alliance for Media Arts and Culture

“As everyone who's had the privilege to meet and work together with Lynette, I was completely spellbound by her extraordinary aura. She bravely dives into the depth of emotion with true empathy. She approaches new technologies fearlessly - not by becoming a master or a slave to it, but by finding a delicate balance of symbiosis. She can show you an elegant system in a vast field of complex and overwhelming information, and ultimately reveal an emotion you can never put a word to. I'm extremely fortunate to know her, and I am always seeking every opportunity to work with her.”

 Takaaki Okada, Artist, Co-Director Office of Unspecified Services

"Lynette completely changed our team's outlook on storytelling, and on communicating with our community of people. She has a captivating presence and a deep reserve of wisdom. Instead of talking to our audience, we started creating spaces where people could take initiative."

Graham Meriwether - Producer
