Had a great time talking with director Sally Rubin about her short film Mama Has a Mustache which screened at last month's 65th annual SFFilm Festival . Sally's film is a short, quirky, fully animated doc about gender and family, as seen through children’s eyes. Driven completely by audio interviews of kids ages 5-10, the film uses these sound bytes combined with clip-art and mixed media to explore how children are able to experience a world outside of the traditional gender binary.

In this interview, Sally and Erin talk about the idea of using clip art/photos/video/and drawings to tell this story, the wonderful animation that is throughout the film, what it was like to show the film to a theater full of elementary kids at the historic Castro Theater, and the fun JVN (Jonathan Van Ness, duh!) quip that she decided to leave in the film.

Films like Mama Has a Mustache are so important as a tool for education. If you have a little one in your life this is a great conversation starter or continuation about gender.
