Evergreen: Fourteen year old Henrietta, Henri for short, longs for everything she doesn't have. Looking down a road that turns bad instead of right, Henri and her mother Kate are forced to move in with her grandmother in a leaking shack on the edge of town. Henri is hell bent on finding a way out. At the same time, Henri meets a boy at school, Chat Turly, and becomes infatuated with his seemingly ideal wealthy family. Henri overlooks some of the curious behavior she witnesses at the Turlys', choosing instead to see what she wants to see as she tries desperately to become a part of the family. When Henri can no longer ignore the severe flaws in Chat's home life, she takes stock of her comic and tragic roots and realizes she possesses a different kind of wealth.EVERGREEN marked Zentelis' feature film directorial debut.

“…affecting slice of low-watt indie filmmaking that goes where few American movies bother: below the poverty line.”
- Boston Globe
“Addie Land is a wonder… Zentelis and Land are two new artists that promise exciting futures.”
- Seattle Times
“[Four stars] Evergreen marks [Zentelis'] impressively understated debut.”
- Baltimore Sun
“…it's virtually impossible to watch the movie and not be moved…Evergreen is a calm eye in the aftermath of a hurricane of summer movies. It doesn't have lots of stars or a big budget. It wasn't written by committee or rewritten by test screenings. It's a brave statement by a talented new filmmaker, brought to life by a wonderful cast. And it deserves your attention.”
- Washington D.C. Journal
“How refreshing to see characters in a movie deal with objects that have some real weight…Zentelis creates a series of almost painting-like images…Evergreen also boasts an evocative soundtrack by John Stirratt and Pat Sansone…adding to the film's appeal are thoughtful, melodic tunes by critically acclaimed Mendoza Line…”
- San Francisco Oakland Tribune
“a compassionate slice of Pacific Northwest life…”
- Village Voice
“Told with a tender vigor, the film explores relationships on a number of levels…. As written and directed by Enid Zentelis, Evergreen is a buoyant film, packed with everyday wisdom and propelled by the sympathetic lead performance of Addie Land…. The supporting performances are remarkable, including a vulnerable turn by Mary Kay Place as an agoraphobic suburbanite and an endearing portrayal by Gary Farmer as a Native-American casino worker.”
- Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter
“[Addie Land] is terrific, giving a very natural, touching performance in the film's central role—her first time on screen. Remember her name.”
- Moira McDonald, Seattle Times
“Evergreen celebrates two exciting debuts, that of Enid Zentelis, a writer/director whose poignant, honest storytelling ability captures the essence of a young woman facing life's challenges, and of Addie Land, the talented actress who portrays her. … The film portrays a multigenerational quest for dignity in a world that would rather look away—but Evergreen won't let you.”
- John Cooper, Sundance Film Festival
