30-Nov-2023
Nande Walters is a filmmaker and artist from Fort Lauderdale, FL. She has a Film/Video BFA from Pratt Institute and is based in Brooklyn, NY. She's made narrative and nonfiction student films and is interested in personal documentaries, experimental filmmaking, and researching Black/POC, Womxn, and LGBTQ+ artists and filmmakers.
In 2020, Nande's fiction film Who Are You Really premiered on NoBudge in January, and in February, her documentary Bloodline premiered twice during Pratt's Black History Month art show.
During the pandemic in June 2020, Nande created Kickback, an online creative platform to showcase friends' work. From interviewing dozens of artists, 7 online events, Almanac Zine, Kicback's 1st Birthday Zine, and more, Kickback has brought together artists from across the country.
Nande's goal as a filmmaker and artist is to tell personal stories, invite others to do the same, and bring people together to celebrate the work they've made.
