From book to screenplay to the Austin Film Festival
with Cindy Weigand

Weigand grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories. They were simple tales, but she loved them. Still does, but now she realizes that they were life lessons as well. She has authored four books, including the coming-of-age story, Ride of Passage, which was published in 2023. In 2024 and 2025, she published Big Jack, Cowboy Aviator, a work of biographical fiction based on the life of a great uncle who was a pilot in the Roaring Twenties, and its sequel, Mavis Perkins, Flying Journalist.

After starting and managing a film festival, Weigand turned her attention to visual storytelling and adapted her books into screenplays that have been recognized in film festivals across the world. Currently, she is working to package and produce Ride of Passage into a feature film. For more information, visit her website at https://cindyweigand.com/.
