For The Next Generation

Set against the architecture and performance spaces of a Nebraska school, For The Next Generation introduces Liz Davids through the roles that shape her candidacy: mother, educator and advocate. Davids connects her experience to a platform centered on academic excellence, collaboration between parents and schools, and transparency in education funding.

The visual approach places her alone within spaces normally filled by students, allowing the absent audience to become part of the idea. The film is ultimately less about a board or an institution than the people who will inherit its decisions, and whether their abilities, ambitions and dreams are given room to develop.
