We're happy to welcome back director and Bay Area native, Crystal Moselle back to the podcast. When we last spoke, Crystal was promoting her film Skate Kitchen - WHICH WE LOVED.  And now, we're chatting with her about the second season of Betty, coming back to HBO Friday, June 11 which is a direct spin off of Skate Kitchen. It's been so good to see this cast come back, kick ass, and teach men how to treat women. DUH.  Please watch Betty and/or Skate Kitchen and be sure to bring whatever young person you have in your life to watch along. These gals are killing it and are the idols we wish we had when we were teens.!!

We had an amazing experience covering the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, and we're bringing you all of the behind the scenes dirt! Find out how we ended up doing not one, but 2 interviews for 2 different films (The Fabulous Filipino Brothers, and Ricochet), which film left us pleasantly confused, which interview made one of us so nervous she couldn't focus, and what caused Erin to almost poop her pants (metaphorically...we think). Then we get into the story behind Captain Party missing the panel with Margaret Cho. This was a film festival for the books, and we are exhausted. Enjoy!

We're wrapping up our coverage of the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival with a powerful documentary, Because We Are Girls. Director Baljit Sangra, who also directed a short that preceded the documentary entitled Have You Forgotten Me, explains why it is so important to capture the lives and history of Asian immigrants, and in this case, in the form of a Punjabi family dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. We get into how she dealt with filming the most intense scene of the film, the question of wether first generation children can ever find common ground with their immigrant parents, and how we are much more than just our trauma. This film shines a light on the unfair loopholes within the criminal justice system, the repercussions of sexual assault, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.

We're celebrating Asian American history at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, this time focusing on a documentary called The Race Epidemic. The history of racism against Asian Americans is something that has been hidden and erased from our history books, making a documentary like this more important than ever in this moment. We sat down with filmmakers Tony Shyu and Ron Wong about the evolution of this film, why certain words like "freedom" are triggering to people of color, how they decided which stories to choose, and their potential plans to turn this into a series. We thank them for telling these important stories, and hope this can eventually lead to the inclusion of Asian American history into our classrooms.

We're virtually covering the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, featuring the documentary Who Is Lun*na Menoh?   and the prolific Japanese artist herself, Lun*na Menoh, who Zooms with us to talk about her art, the question of what is reality, getting lost in the twists and turns of this film, and which art form she considers to bring her the most joy. This is a film that left us pleasantly confused, in the best way possible! And just like her art, she is an enigma, and we were just happy to be along for the ride.

The film Who is Lun*na Menoh? will be screening at the upcoming   SF DocFest & Art of Brooklyn Film Festivals, be sure to keep up on their film website.

We are back at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival and have a packed house this time around with director Patricio Ginelsa and stars April Absynth and Katrina Dimaranan from the long awaited sequel Lumpia with a Vengeance. We get into the creative ways to make lumpia on the go, having badass bitches as the hero and the villain, the importance of diversity and representation in this film, and the struggle to keep a straight face on a set of jokesters. Finally, Katrina dishes on the struggles of wearing two different colors of lipstick at the same time, and Patricio shares how Danny Trejo became part of the lumpia family. This was a fun conversation and we loved their energy! And now, we need to eat some lumpia.

We're full steam ahead at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, and this time, we're bringing the Aloha spirit to Bitch Talk with the documentary One Voice. This film follows ten Native Hawaiian high schoolers as they prepare for the annual Kamehameha School Song Contest. Director Lisette Flanary talks about the importance of revitalizing the traditional Hawaiian culture, the intensity of the song competition, and how the personal stories of these students are just as compelling as the harmonies in the songs they sing.

We're at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival covering Legacy and Lineage, a series of shorts that highlights 5 Bay Area Asian American artists. We spoke with director Laura Paule and producer Melanie Elvena about how they chose which artists to cover, why this project is especially personal to both of them, and how the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC) is working to keep Asian American stories told. In a time when violence against the AAPI community are on the rise, we need these stories told more than ever, and we are honored to highlight artists and organizations that are making that happen.

We're at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival with part 2 of our coverage on the documentary Ricochet (if you haven't already, check out part 1 with director Chihiro Wimbush!). Matt Gonzalez is someone whose work we have followed (both as a trial lawyer and as a politician) in San Francisco for almost 20 years, and we were so excited to have him on the show to speak about his pivotal role in Ricochet. We get into the need for reform in immigration law, how the term sanctuary city has often been misunderstood, and why working on this case was so important for him. He also shares some insight into his 2003 run for SF Mayor against Gavin Newsom, his run for Vice President alongside Ralph Nader in 2008, and how art gives him balance. Enjoy!

We're at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival discussing Ricochet, a documentary that follows a San Francisco court case that ultimately had an affect on the 2016 election and the state of the entire nation. It's a riveting documentary that not only shows you the complicated nature of court cases, but also how politics and the media often get in the way. Director Chihiro Wimbush discusses his emotional journey to finish the film after the untimely death of SF Public Defender Jeff Adachi, and how he hopes this story will motivate change in our criminal justice system. 

For updates on Ricochet, check out their website and FB page.
