As her small, blue-collar city struggles to emerge from the opioid epidemic and gets caught up in battles over change, identity, and self-mythology, FOR THE LOVE OF RUTLAND closely follows the story of Stacie Griffin – a remarkable and resilient woman who lives in the toughest neighborhood of the heroin-battered town of Rutland, Vermont.

“I have worked with Robert on multiple projects and consider him to be one of my most treasured creative collaborators. This is not only because his technical skills are so outstanding and his work is so meticulous, but also because he brings a deeply empathetic and intuitive filmmaker’s sensibility to the work. Robert doesn’t just want to make the material look amazing - which he does - but he also wants the visuals to convey their fullest emotional and thematic resonance. There is deep artistry to what Robert does, and I don’t consider my work finished until I get to collaborate with him.”
