Krista Rayne Reckner as Geraldine Bey in “Ordnung”
(New York, NY – March 24, 2020)
Ordnung, produced in May 2019 by students in Edinboro’s Film & Video program, has been named a semi-finalist by New York’s Independent Aphrodite Film Awards. Made by upperclassmen in Professor Brian Fuller’s Film & Video Production IV course, Ordnung joins an elite field of international short films featured in screening programs at Lincoln Center’s Bruno Walter Auditorium.
Ordnung – honored in October 2019 as Official Selection of the Reading (PA) Film Fest – tells the disturbing true story of Edward Gingerich (Conner McNelis), the first Amish man to be convicted of homicide. Detective Geraldine Bey (Krista Rayne Reckner) faces down Gingerich’s paranoid schizophrenia to probe the motive for a crime of gruesome dismemberment. The movie was directed Megan Ciafre and produced by Taylor Prach.
