Congrats to Maria Finitzo for another wonderful honor! Once again, Finitzo has been named to New City’s “Film 50 2016” list – a list of Chicagoans shaking up the film world! Ray Pride of New City stated: “Longtime documentarian Maria Finitzo continues to expand horizons as a filmmaker while recently sharing a duPont-Columbia prize for her work as a director on the ‘Hard Earned’ series about the lives of underpaid workers. She …directed her first dramatic feature, Those Left Behind, from her original screenplay. In “Those Left Behind,” a family hopes to come to terms with twenty-five years of grief wrought by a son’s suicide. It’s a fine companion to her tender, assured, compassionate doc, In The Game.” Check out the full article here.
