Calling all cool East Coasters! ⁠Raw Daisies⁠ is a NJ/NY-based production company turning the tradition of how films are funded, exhibited and distributed - on its head. In today's episode we talk with co-founder Katie Elle Weinstein who shares how Raw Daisies was created, the ethos behind the company and the 2nd annual SummerFest happening... right now!

Raw Daisies host seemingly random community events anchored around themes like political education, music and concerts, speed dating and Pride Night - to attract community members and inspire them to donate money to produce films and shorts that screen at next year's events.
