Louisville filmmaker and student Justine Feldt recently held the premiere of her first feature length film, "Winding Road". On April 25th 2008 the film played before an enthusiastic audience at Jefferson Community College in downtown Louisville, Ky. The film's lead actors Sarah Batchelor and Brandyn Cahill were present.

An avid filmmaker, Feldt has spent the last year working non-stop on "Winding Road". The film follows the story of a young Haley Smith, who dreams of becoming a famous songwriter. Without her mother’s knowledge, Haley leaves home for a prestigious songwriting competition in Chicago. Along the way, she hitches a ride with a young man who is her complete opposite. Through their journey, they form an unlikely friendship, despite Haley’s growing concerns about the young man’s true intentions.

"Winding Road" is a low-budget independent film, funded solely by Feldt and her co-producer, Claire Thixton. Because of Louisville’s thriving art scene and support for independent artists, Feldt was able to find many volunteers and musicians to help make it a success. The film was entirely shot in Kentucky, with the majority filmed in the Louisville area. As a female filmmaker, Feldt is an advocate for gender-equality behind the camera. Feldt, who has attended the New York Film Academy and was apart of the 2006 Samsung Fresh Films competition, hopes that "Winding Road" will lead her to more filmmaking opportunities.
