Filmmaker Notes:
Lately I’ve been feeling the weight of world whenever I go online, and I’ve been craving the flip side of the coin – uplifting stories where the internet isn’t a place to doom scroll but a place where people can find something positive.
Enter the jigsaw puzzle community – one that exploded online during the pandemic and helped bring folks together through speed puzzling and other events. As I continued to develop a feature around this amazing group of people, I was introduced to Adele – known as Grandma Puzzles in her corner of the internet.
I immediately fell in love with her spirit and story, and I hope audiences will too.
