Dawn Logsdon is making her feature-length directing debut with Faubourg Tremé (2007). A nationally-acclaimed editor in the Bay Area for many years, Dawn returned to her hometown in 1999, determined to weld together her experience in documentary filmmaking with a quest for understanding New Orleans, its people, and its culture.

She was also the editor of the Emmy and Peabody award-winning program The Castro: Hidden Neighborhoods of San Francisco, which interweaves the many strands of that community's history, culture and politics. Dawn has directed and produced several short documentaries including Tomboy. She is a Soros Open Society Institute Media Fellow and has also been awarded fellowships from the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center, and was a California Arts Council Artist-in-Residence. Dawn hold a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California at Berkeley.
