We're here at Sundance 2021 (virtually) joined by our honorary Bitch and Sundance partner-in-crime John Wildman ofFilmsGoneWild.com.

In this episode, we're proud to bring you filmmakers and stories exclusively from the Bay! We're joined with the cast and crew from the films Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir, Homeroom, and Marvelous and the Black Hole.

Producer Cassandra Jabola from Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir, discusses the cultural impact of Amy Tan, and the importance of representation in media.

Homeroom follows the class of 2020 at Oakland High School as they work to make a change in the school to prison pipeline, and react to a global pandemic. We were honored to chat with one of the doc's main subjects, Denilson Garibo, about activism, persistence, and where we go from here.

In Marvelous and the Black Hole, we were joined by director Kate Tsang, and the stars Miya Cech, and the one and only Rhea Perlman. We discuss the Bay vibes throughout the film, channeling your inner badass, becoming a magician, and the significance of stealing toilet paper.

We love the Bay, and we LOVE these films! Thank you to Sundance for bringing these voices to light, and don't forget to support your local filmmakers!
