SIMA 2023 SYSTEMIC CHANGE AWARD | SPIRIT AND AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER - Brooklyn Film Festival (World Premiere)

Criminalized Survival • Liberation • Grassroots Activism • Generational Trauma • Domestic Violence • Court & Prison System • Post-Traumatic Stress • Gender-Based & Family Violence

AND SO I STAYED is an award-winning documentary about survivors of domestic violence who are unjustly incarcerated for killing their abusers in self-defense. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories. Formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while in prison, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence.

Educational Media Reviews Online | Reviewed by Gisèle Tanasse, University of California Berkeley

"Victims of domestic violence see their struggle in film."

ABC | Kyra Phillips, Anchor
"Two directors are shining a light on survivors of abuse."

Vox | Marin Cogan
“In focusing on the stories of survivors, the filmmakers challenge viewers to reconsider some of the dominant narratives about women and violence.”

Prism | Tamar Sarai, Writer
“And So I Stayed disrupts how [true crime] encourages us to think about crime, harm, violence, and those who survive it.”

Director, Writer & Producer of AND SO I STAYED

REQUEST A GOOD TALK WITH NATALIE PATTILLO

Natalie Pattillo is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, writer, and journalist based in Providence, Rhode Island. Her bylines can be found in MSNBC, VICE, New York Magazine, The New York Review of Books, and more. Natalie is co-director, writer, and producer of AND SO I STAYED, which won festival awards and was acclaimed by The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, ABC News, Bloomberg, and Vox News. She is Co-Founder and Head of Story of Full Picture Studios, a video and audio storytelling project that aims to free survivors of abuse who are unjustly incarcerated. Natalie is currently working on her second feature-length documentary, WRITING FOR MY MOTHER, which explores the declining adult literacy rates in America.

Natalie was awarded the Media Award from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She received a Master’s degree from Columbia Journalism School in 2017. She speaks with audiences such as court systems, law firms, advocacy organizations, and universities about the nuances of intimate partner and family violence and how systems can fail survivors of abuse; what communities can do to support survivors before, during, and after crisis; why survivors of abuse shouldn't be treated as a monolith or why there is no "perfect victim"; breaking the harmful cycles of generational trauma; and what healing justice can look like for those impacted by family violence; and the importance of trauma-informed filmmaking and storytelling. In her free time, Natalie enjoys gardening and cooking with her husband and three kids.

Expertise
Because of lived experience as survivor and having lost her sister to domestic violence, Natalie understands deeply the dynamics of an abusive relationship and what many survivors face when they are being subjected to abuse and the barriers in their way in seeking safety. Students and audiences will come away with a better understanding nuances of intimate partner and family violence and how systems can fail survivors of abuse; what communities can do to support survivors before, during, and after crisis; why survivors of abuse shouldn't be treated as a monolith or why there is no "perfect victim"; breaking the harmful cycles of generational trauma; and what healing justice can look like for those impacted by family violence; and the importance of trauma-informed filmmaking and storytelling.

Director, Producer & Director of Photography of AND SO I STAYED

REQUEST A GOOD TALK WITH DANIEL NELSON

Co-Director/Producer/Director of Photography Daniel Nelson has been studying intimate partner violence for nearly a decade. He emphasizes a trauma-informed approach in filmmaking, which is desperately needed when making films about sensitive issues. As a Director of Photography and Cinematographer, Daniel is acutely aware of the power dynamic that having large camera gear can bring to a set and makes sure he is transparent about that with the people in front of the camera before recording.

Expertise
My expertise is in the topic of intimate partner violence and how to tell a visual story in a trauma-informed way. I also think it's important to talk about the idea of vicarious trauma in filmmaking and how that can affect the storytelling process if not treated appropriately.

Speaking History
I have spoken at many film festivals and individual screenings including:
- Brooklyn Film Festival
- Law Offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
- Interval House (CT)
- St. Louis International Film Festival
- Law Offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP
- Logan Correctional Center (IL)
- Maine International Film Festival
- Law Offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP
