Baraboo, the touching, quirky and beautifully shot directorial debut by Mary Sweeney, David Lynch's long-time editor and School of Cinematic Arts faculty member, is a contender in the Best First Feature Category at the 2009 21st Galway Film Fleadh Awards.

Having edited and produced the modern classics Lost Highway, The Straight Story (which she also wrote), Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, Sweeney makes a striking and idiosyncratic first outing as writer/director with Baraboo.

Baraboo is a tender study of connection, recovery and delicate personal dynamics that circle the residents of Baraboo, Wisconsin... ordinary souls rendered fascinating by Sweeney's compassionate close-up attention.
