ABOUT DEMPSEY RICE
Dempsey Rice is a documentary filmmaker, producer and educator in New York City. Dempsey's debut documentary, Daughter of Suicide, premiered on HBO in May of 2000 and is distributed on video by Women Make Movies. Daughter of Suicide is the story of one woman's death by suicide and the process of her family and friends' healing after that suicide.
Daughter of Suicide is the recipient of a National Council on Family Relations Media Awards (First Place: Mental Health, Stress, Transition, & Crisis Management Category, 2001), a National Mental Health Association Media Award, (National Television: Educational or Pubic Service Programming Category, 2001) and a Cine Golden Eagle (2000) and received funding from Home Box Office, The Jerome Foundation, The Lucius and Eva Eastman Fund, The Women in Film Foundation, From the Heart Productions and R.E.M.
Dempsey is also in production on a new independent documentary - Forget Me Nots. Sharing the stories of our lives is an integral part of individual and communal identity -- our true essence is the memories we have and the stories we tell. But what happens when amnesia strikes and we forget those stories or we are no longer able to create new memories? Who are we in the face of that loss and who do we become? Forget Me Nots documents amnesiacs and storytellers alike in their search for identity and meaning in life. Interviews and cinema verité footage intertwine with commentary, archival film footage and images evoking the nature of memory and amnesia and exploring the humor and pathos of how our memories define whom we are and what happens if we lose those memories. (Forget Me Nots is the fusion of two former works in progress - Tell Me a Story and Memory and Forgetting.)
