Before devoting herself full time to filmmaking, Ruth Leitman worked as a documentary photographer in Atlanta. This view of a pensive young woman made in Piedmont Park was part of a series on teenage girls that ultimately inspired Leitman’s first documentary film, Wildwood, NJ (1994), a sweet and piercing portrait of the girls and women she encountered at the popular, blue-collar seaside resort.
