A lyrical, decades-spanning exploration across a woman's life in Mississippi, the feature debut from award-winning poet, photographer and filmmaker Raven Jackson is a haunting and richly layered portrait, a beautiful ode to the generations of people and places that shape us.
Raven Jackson is a director, poet, and photographer from Tennessee. She graduated with degrees in Film Studies at New York University and Creative Writing from New School. She received the Cave Canem Foundation scholarship, which propagates representation and visibility of African Americans on the literary market. Raven claims her work focuses on exploring experiences and emotions that elude definition, as well as the relationship between the body and nature. All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is her full-length debut, which premiered at the Sundance Festival in 2023.
