Melissa Leo, Jordan Bayne + Peter Gerety at the blue eyed cherokee films + charity: water benefit
Filmmaker Jordan Bayne got her start as an actor in 1995 in the TV Series Poltergeist - The Legacy. She went on to star in several independent films across from such greats as Martin Sheen and Ernie Hudson while earning comparisons to Meryl Streep and being called a "female James Dean".
Bayne is making a name for herself as a filmmaker. Her first film Argo [co-written and co-directed with Michael Knowles], starring Jordana Spiro [My Boys] is an intensely emotional portrayal of two lost souls who impact one another in unexpected ways. Argo garnered several awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
Bayne wants to make movies that matter. Her next short film The Sea Is All I Know is a testament to the strength and resilience of the soul. When an estranged couple, Sara and Sonny, come to the aid of their dying daughter, the experience sends them spiraling into spiritual crisis, and emotions they do not understand. In the end, this experience renews their lives, transcends their loss of faith, and even death itself. It will star the phenomenal actress, and recent Sundance Grand Jury Award winner [Frozen River], Melissa Leo [21 Grams].
