"terroir" has just been accepted to its 8th festival since being released on September 9, 2019. It will play the IntimaLente/IntimateLens Film Festival in Caserta, Italy on December 20, 2019. Written/helmed/produced by Dawn Westlake under her Ron de Cana Prods, Inc. shingle, "terroir" is a musical poem about how the mother-child relationship sometimes clouds our perceptions of very capable female leaders in all sectors of society.

The film was shot on location in Wheaton & Peru, IL, USA with second unit cinematography done in Font Romeu, France and Vilafranca del Penedes, Catalunya, Spain by Pol Carrizo Vilarroig of Imatge Barcelona. "terroir" was orchestrated and mixed by multiple award-winning composer GC Johnson of Acoustic Labs.

4-yr-old Lilly Johnson makes her professional acting debut in "terroir", playing Westlake in 1969 and her mother in approximately 1930.
