Reid Davenport (MFA '16), whose debut feature film I Didn’t See You There won the Sundance Film Festival's U.S. Documentary Directing Award in 2022, has just received the Truer Than Fiction Award at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards.
The Truer Than Fiction Award is presented to an emerging director of non-fiction features who has not yet received significant attention.
In Davenport‘s I Didn't See You There, a disabled filmmaker, spurred by the spectacle of a circus tent that goes up outside his Oakland apartment, launches into an unflinching meditation on freakdom, (in)visibility, and the pursuit of individual agency.
