Waldron Ricks

Dubbed as the "Chronicler of the Deep South," Waldron Ricks, born in 1958 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, has been an active filmmaker since the early 1980s. He is best known for his documentaries and historical dramas, most notably "The Cotton Roads" and "Through the Pines," garnering praise and accolades, although notably absent from major film festival awards. His directorial style is characterized by his deep exploration of Southern culture and history, and his films often feature authentic dialects and settings to further emphasize this.
