Her video, Delirium, about the history of female hysteria, won over a dozen awards including the prestigious Grand Prize in Video at the 1994 Berlin Film Festival. Mindy received a Rockefeller Intercultural Multimedia Fellowship (1996) and began collaborating with youth to create a series of award-winning projects, many of which were aired on national television. Mindy taught media arts at Video Machete and at Evanston Township High School where she led students to produce History Lessons, a video about post 9/11 immigrant backlash which received a 2007 Peabody Award for its inclusion in Beyond Borders for The Independent Film Channel.
