We're (virtually) covering the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Film Festival, and bringing you a conversation with director/co-writer Iman Zawahry and co-writer/star Aizzah Fatima from the film Americanish. This is the first American Muslim romantic comedy made by an American Muslim director, and it's about damn time! We get into what it took to get this film made, racism (both outside and inside our own communities), the personal decision to wear a hijab, and the true definition of a feminist. We had a great time with this conversation and loved their energy!

Americanish is screening virtually for anyone in California on May 23rd @ 5:00pm, you can but tickets here!
