About the Filmmaker
New York native Wendy Schneider started as a bike messenger for a multimedia production company at 17 years of age. Eight years later, she was creative director of audio production, producing projects for major corporate clients that included the National Geographic Society and the International Center for Photography.
In 1989, she produced her first audio documentary for People For The American Way, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the murders of civil rights activists Andrew Goodman, Mickey Schwerner and James Chaney. That experience led her to eschew the corporate life, relocate to the Midwest and attend the University of Wisconsin in 1990; she has lived in Madison ever since. Schneider is currently owner and chief engineer at Coney Island Recording Studios, producing projects for independent artists in the Midwest. She is also a regional rock performer and founder of Sparkle Dog®, a young company creating “Storyscapes®,” original children's literature brought to life with music scores, sound effects and narration. Cut is her first film.
