In her work, Lindsey celebrates unique traditions and idiosyncrasies of place, culture, and communities, finding humor and humanity in complex places. In addition to editing the hybrid feature film Holding Back the Tide (premiering at DocNYC 2023), she is currently working on a comedic hybrid project called Serious Play about the juggling community and its annual festival. She is known for directing and editing several short films including:

The Exceptionally Extraordinary Emporium about the significance of costuming in New Orleans, My Name Is Marc, And You Can Count On It about Cleveland’s late-night commercial cult icon Marc Brown, and Rhythm's Gonna Get Ya, a city symphony of the many challenges NYC subway commuters face. Her award-winning films have screened at numerous festivals across the country, have appeared on PBS's Reel South, and her work has been featured on The New Yorker, Time Studios, Vox, and CNN’s Great Big Story.
