Biography
Heather E. Connell was born and raised in Massachusetts where she studied screenwriting and theatre arts at Salem State College. In 2001, she relocated to Los Angeles and founded Displaced Yankee Productions, an independent film company dedicated to using film as a platform for raising social awareness and activism through entertainment. After making two short films, Choosing Your Course (2002) and Black and White (2004), Heather produced and directed her first feature documentary, the award-winning Small Voices: The Stories of Cambodia’s Children. Her second documentary feature, the award-winning Forget Us Not, follows the stories of some of the five-million non-Jewish Holocaust survivors and is narrated by Golden Globe-winning actor Ron Perlman. Connell founded the Safe Haven Medical Outreach Program in 2008. Safe Haven is a non-profit educational and therapeutic outreach program for disabled children in Siem Riep, Cambodia. She is a recipient of GO Magazine's "100 Women We Love" and the David Chow Foundation Humanitarian Award.
