Bio: Amy Redford made her directorial debut with The Guitar, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. She has a degree in drama/theater from San Francisco State University. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, including Sex and the City and Sunshine Cleaning. Current directing projects include El Americano and Phoenix.

Description: The Guitar is a tour de force for English actress Saffron Burrows. She plays Melody Wilder, an unhappy woman who is invisible to most around her and is given a month to live with advanced cancer of the larynx. She abandons her life as she knew it, rents a loft, and prepares for her demise by running up her credit cards and learning to play the guitar she had been dreaming about her whole life. Turns out that in changing everything about herself and her life, she tricked her cancer into a full remission. Melody now has to deal with the consequences of her spending, as well as the new life she has created for herself, full of creativity and on her own terms.

The film is a true character study. Burrows is alone for most of the film. She begins the film literally—and figuratively—with no voice and at the conclusion she is reborn and finds her true, authentic voice.
