Dandelion | SXSW 2024

In an engaging session at SXSW for the Film.io Inside Series, correspondent Lauren DeLisa Coleman caught up with director Nicole Riegel to discuss her latest project, "Dandelion." The film tells the poignant story of a Cincinnati singer-songwriter named Dandelion, whose career is faltering. In an effort to revive her fortunes, she accepts a gig at a motorcycle rally in South Dakota, where she encounters Casey, a guitarist who has abandoned his own musical dreams. Together with Casey's band of itinerant musicians, Dandelion embarks on a journey of musical collaboration and intense romance, leading her to rediscover her voice and redefine her understanding of success. Riegel's narrative beautifully captures the transformative power of music and love in shaping one's identity and artistic expression.
