Long Line of Ladies, a new film by Rayka Zehtabchi and Shaandiin Tome, is set to make its debut at the Sundance Film Festival
The film follows a girl and her community prepare for her Ihuk, the once-dormant coming of age ceremony of the Karuk tribe of Northern California. It was directed by Rayka Zehtabchi and Shaandiin Tome.
Rayka Zehtabchi is an Academy Award-winning director and producer working in both documentary and fiction. In 2019, Rayka became the first Iranian woman to win an Oscar for her film "Period. End of Sentence.," which can be seen on Netflix worldwide. In all her projects, she brings a naturalistic approach to her storytelling, striving for honesty and intimacy on screen.
Shaandiin Tome is a recognized writer, director and cinematographer from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her award-winning break-out short film Mud (Hashtł'ishnii) premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018.
