This World is Not My Own

Feature Doc / SXSW WORLD PREMIERE / thisworldisnotmyown.com

Chewing gum sculptures, a wealthy gallerist, a firebrand wrestler, a notorious murder case and the segregated south – it’s all part of Nellie Mae Rowe’s boundless universe. This World is Not My Own reimagines this self-taught artist’s world and her life spanning the 20th century.

“A bold, brave work, This World Is Not My Own is a shining example of how the merging of many facets of non-fiction filmmaking can be integrated to elevate a story.”
