Lindsey's films are humorous, sometimes dark looks at the inner workings of families going through crisis, often embracing the absurd. Her interests are in locations and how humans connect to the places they are from; in cyclical patterns of generations of women living in poverty in rural America and the bizarre tactics individuals, especially young girls and women, design to cope with traumatic experiences.
Using traditional narrative structures and a mixture of live action and animation, Lindsey mixes in changing visual modes allowing the viewer to explore character’s complex thought processes.
