EXCLUSIVE: UTA has signed director-producer Cecilia Aldarondo, whose third feature, ‘You Were My First Boyfriend,’ premiered in Documentary Feature Competition at the SXSW Film Festival on Friday
as an examination of “the power of adolescent fantasy, the subtle violence of cultural assimilation, and the fun house mirror of time’s passage.” Aldarondo also produced the pic heading to HBO later this year, which sees her revisit her 1990s adolescence, a generation after she thought she’d left it all behind.
A former Women at Sundance Fellow who was named to DOC NYC’s 40 Under 40 list Aldarondo has also previously received a Guggenheim Fellowship and an IDA Emerging Filmmaker Award, among other accolades. While continuing to build on her career behind the camera, she teaches filmmaking at Williams College in Williamstown, MA.
