LEDGE DWELLER
THE TEAM
Lindsay Wilner
Director, Screenwriter & Producer
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Lindsay moved west to Salt Lake City, Utah to complete her doctorate in clinical psychology. She is the founding director of the Christmas Box House, a center for at-risk children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. A champion of women's issues, Lindsay attended Cambridge University in England to complete a thesis on the Unmarried Woman's Role in Victorian Society. Her clinical research has primarily focused on the developmental implications of sexual trauma in an adolescent female population, shedding much-needed light on young women's issues. In her clinical practice, Dr. Wilner frequently came across women clients who were wrestling with midlife crisis. After having one of her own, she pursued a different career path as a screenwriter of narrative films. Ledge Dweller, the movie, is dedicated to all women who seek rebirth in middle age.
