Jeremy Teicher '10 directs film in Senegal

By James Peng | July 5, 2012

While some Dartmouth graduates pursue jobs in traditional fields such as finance and medicine, Jeremy Teicher '10 went a different route by directing a feature film that tells the fictional narrative of two Senegalese girls. Teicher, who finalized his work, titled "Tall as the Baobab Tree," in May, recently began submitting his movie to film festivals. "The hope is that we have a really great run at high-profile festivals around the world that will lead to a good distribution field," Teicher said. "Tall as the Baobab Tree," which was filmed in the West African language of Pulaar, follows a teenage girl who devises a plan to prevent her younger sister from entering into an arranged marriage. The "ultra-low" budget movie was staged in a small African village with Senegalese actors.
