Template:TOCnestleft Julia Reichert is a film maker and activist.
Ohio connection
Reichert entered Antioch College in Yellow Springs,Ohio, in 1964, and she's lived continuously in southwestern Ohio since 1970. She chose to stay at first because of "wanting to be where I was needed," with a sense that there was probably asurplus of radicals on the east and west coasts.
She's since developed far deeper roots in the Midwest, however; she was able to finance her film "Emma and Elvis" entirely through Ohio-based investors. She now spends much of her energy nurturing other Ohio filmmakers, teaching part-time at Wright State University in Dayton.[1]
