About Cindy
Director and Producer Cindy L. Abel formed Atlantis Moon Productions to develop film-related projects that launch conversations and impact popular culture.
She directed and produced the award-winning BREAKING THROUGH, a documentary in which openly LGBT elected officials share their stories of self-doubt and triumph over multiple barriers, revealing a deeply personal, rarely-seen side of politicians and gay people. As they share how they have come to live open and fulfilled lives, they bring hope to those from all walks of life who are struggling.
In addition to BREAKING THROUGH, she directed the short film BACK TO SALEM. Abel's current film in production, SURVIVING THE SILENCE: LOVE & IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES, tells the story of Colonel Patsy Thompson who presided over the board that dismissed another colonel for admitting she was a lesbian. Although Thompson served her country for thirty years, from conflicts in Central America to the Pentagon, that appointment was her hardest. She had to protect her own secret, as well as the love of her life, her wife, Barbara Brass.
Abel also combines her experience in managing multi-million dollar, award-winning communications projects with filmmaking to create videos and webisodes for corporate and public affairs clients. She blogs for Huffington Post, previously served as national Co-Chair of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, Vice-Chair of Atlanta Film Festival and Vice President of Communications of Women in Film & Television / Atlanta.
