We chatted with filmmakers Dara Resnik and James Takata about their upcoming film California Scenario, a drama exploring intergenerational trauma and resilience within diverse Californian families. Inspired by James' family history and Isamu Noguchi's sculptural garden of the same name, the story weaves past and present narratives, addressing themes like Japanese American internment, the Holocaust, and the enduring legacy of trauma. Dara and James shared their experiences as collaborators, the importance of representation in storytelling, and the power of community in bringing authentic narratives to life.We had the chance to talk to James and Dara about how they met (thank you very much Jon Huertas), and how they work together - especially as two people who have been through a divorce and done a lot of healing. Set against the backdrop of Noguchi's iconic installation, this film is a heartfelt exploration of identity, healing, and the ties that bind families across generations.To support California Scenario, consider contributing to the film's fundraising efforts, sharing its mission, or spreading the word through interviews and features.
