EXCLUSIVE: UTA has signed director-producer Cecilia Aldarondo, whose third feature, You Were My First Boyfriend, premiered in Documentary Feature Competition at the SXSW Film Festival on Friday.
The hybrid doc written and directed by Aldarondo and Sarah Enid Hagey is billed in SXSW’s official program as an examination of “the power of adolescent fantasy, the subtle violence of cultural assimilation, and the fun house mirror of time’s passage.” Aldarondo also produced the pic heading to HBO later this year, which sees her revisit her 1990s adolescence, a generation after she thought she’d left it all behind.
Aldarondo previously directed and produced the feature docs Memories of a Penitent Heart and Landfall, both of which were co-produced by the award-winning PBS series, POV.

While continuing to build on her career behind the camera, she teaches filmmaking at Williams College in Williamstown, MA.

Harbert indicated that he’s looking for a new chapter of his career, but he declined to elaborate beyond a statement given to Variety. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend 35 years as an advocate and an agent, the last 20-plus at the best agency in the world, Creative Artists Agency,” said Harbert. “I am very thankful that CAA allowed me to pursue many passions in many lanes, especially television, film and production. I have been blessed to be able to work with some of the most talented artists, colleagues, and executives and I could not have imagined a more professionally fulfilling journey over the last three-and-a-half decades. As the global content business continues to evolve, I am excited for what lies ahead.”

Why insist on putting yourself through this reliving of your high school experience?One of the things I say a lot when I was trying to get the film made is “I go home so you don’t have to.” I’ve always been interested in archetypal stories or if there’s a story about one person’s life, it’s meant to be something that resonates. Personal films, they only work if people can relate, otherwise it’s just narcissism. How many people are out there who are like me? Who are outsiders? Because one of the things I came to understand by making this film is how the hierarchy and the politics of high school separate us from one another so there’s that sense of “I’m the only one.” It’s kind of like a lost tribe of people that we run away and we don’t necessarily keep up with people.
