Welcome to Awesome People Sandi Somers.

Sandi was born in Cape Breton and if you listen closely you can hear her accent….no Keith's was consumed during this interview….She came to Calgary in the 80's after finishing College with a degree in Theatre Design. 

Sandi was the resident designer for One Yellow Rabbit until 1992. She then jumped...and flew...pursuing her career as an independent film maker. She has made over 70 films including “Lock up your Daughters” her Lesbian Porn project, that was funded, believe it or not, by the NFB.

Sandi was the catalyst for a much needed change in the 90’s..."“personal politics has its time and this was our time, I just happened to be a part of it.” 

Her favorite film director is the one and only Kathryn Bigelow.

We talk about so many incredible things: hands on hands off funding, community standards, equal rights, bomb scares, politics of identity, supporting something without interfering with it, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and practical decision making…..

This is an hour and a half of incredibleness. If you have a curiosity for Lesbian Politics in the 90’s in Alberta then listen up! This interview will make you laugh and quite possibly make you cry…

Please welcome Sandi...
