Mindy Childress Herman
I am a Producer and Director who specializes in developing new work in theatre, television and audio drama. I've just finished the pilot of "The Mystery of Easter Island," a serialized historical fiction podcast written by Justin Glanville. "The Mystery of Easter Island" was a Fiction Podcast Finalist at the 2017 Austin Film Festival.
The podcast is based on the life of ethnographer Katherine Routledge. At the dawn of World War I, an Englishwoman battling the onset of paranoid schizophrenia sails to remote Easter Island and attempts to decipher the island’s ancient language, the key to which lies with a dying and delusional man living in a leper colony. Based on a true story.
