A discussion of the short film collection from The Reciprocity Project. Screened May 1 2022 at the Independent Film Festival of Boston. “In Season One of the Reciprocity Project, storytellers and community partners created films in response to a question: what does 'reciprocity' mean to your community? In many Indigenous languages there is no word for reciprocity; rather, it's embedded in every aspect of existence for our peoples, connecting all beings, seen and unseen.” http://www.reciprocity.org for more information about the films. *Correction* there are seven films in The Reciprocity Project, not eight.

Welcome to SF IndieFest! We're happy to participate in this festival that celebrates stories told by people from the Bay, and shot in the Bay. We covered two films, one short, and one feature, that share an intimate look at two different sides of city life.In the short film Sammy & Quinn, we follow Sammy as he tries to convince his older brother, Quinn, who has been missing for five years and is suffering from mental illness, to join the family for Thanksgiving dinner. Director Christopher Coppola, and his son/actor, Bailey Coppola, discuss mental health, what it was like to film all over San Francisco during the heart of the quarantine, and the pros and cons of working with family.The narrative feature Love Letter Templates has a truly unique style that blends music, film, and animation to tell the story of loving and partying in San Francisco in the early 2000's. Director/writer/producer Joselito Sering explains how his first feature length film came to be, and the years of hard work and focus it took to get it done. Of course we have fun reminiscing about our “young” and carefree days in San Francisco, and we're pretty sure we've crossed paths at a party or club on more than one occasion.You can follow director Christopher Coppola on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow Love Letter Templates on IG  & FB & SpotifyYou can follow director Joselito Sering on IG & Twitter & FB--Thanks for listening and for your support!

Welcome to  Slamdance 2022! This film festival typically runs alongside  Sundance in Park City, Utah, and proudly states it's made "for filmmakers, by filmmakers". And we're kicking off our coverage with two films that show how family life can be both complicated and rewarding. And the cherry on top is- they're both festival winners! Hannah Ha Ha won the Grand Jury Award for best narrative feature, and the Acting Award for Hannah Lee Thompson, and Iron Family won the Audience Award for best documentary feature. The narrative feature Hannah Ha Ha follows a woman living at home with her father, struggling between what makes her happy, and her brother's pressure to be something she is not. We (virtually) sat down with co-directors and writers Jordan Tetewsky and Joshua Pikovsky, producer/talent Roger Mancusi, producer Emily Freire, and the award winner herself, Hannah Lee Thompson, to explain how they worked through last minute changes to the cast, filming during a pandemic, and finding the perfect tone to the story. In the documentary Iron Family, we meet Jazmine Faries, a woman with Down syndrome who is obsessed with Matthew McConaughey and soap operas. For the past five years, she has written a screenplay that her family performs for their small town in Iron River, Michigan. This film gives us a front row seat into the preparation and production of her sixth play. Director Patrick Longstreth and the subjects of the film/brother sister dynamic duo Jazmine and Chad Faries, discuss the importance of family, the power of community, and our mutual love for Days of Our Lives star Austin Peck.You can follow Hannah Ha Ha on IG & TwitterYou can follow actor Hannah Lee Thompson on IG & FB & SpotifyYou can follow director Jordan Tetewsky on IG & TwitterYou can follow producer/actor Roger Mancusi on IG & TwitterYou can follow producer Emily Freire on IGYou can follow director Patrick Longstreth on Twitter & FBYou can follow Jazmine Faries on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow Chad Faries on IG & Twitter & FB--Thanks for listening and for your support!
