Never The Empty Nest

Wendy White: A Light in the World

Show Notes

Wendy White, whose short film ROSES ARE BLIND, has won so many awards the laurels hardly fit on the poster, is now sharing her story with us. The film is based on her life, whose beginnings were founded on a bumpy nest. She was wrongly institutionalized at the age of 19. Now, Vanessa is working with Wendy on a feature length film of the short, and they’re both very excited. The girls (Vanessa, Wendy, and Nicole) revisit their past, trips to Amsterdam, Vanessa’s first play, Barnard, the Ann Frank Museum, Edinburgh, and even Shoes & a Show.

What is Never The Empty Nest?

This is a podcast about family, led by two sisters and their mom.

An experiment in generational nesting which is, in essence, the ways in which family holds together throughout the lives of its members, their joys, their hardships, their care, their living, breathing roots, and legacies in the making. It’s never too early or too late to add a twig to the nest and roost!
