There’s a new Portland-based, independent comedy on the scene. “Cora Bora” follows Cora, a snarky, somewhat aimless musician struggling her way through solo shows in bars and coffee shops across Los Angeles after the mysterious dissolution of her band. When she suspects her girlfriend is seeing someone new, Cora returns to Portland to try and salvage the relationship. While there, she loses her dog, almost joins an orgy, suffers through awkward encounters with old friends and ultimately confronts the trauma that’s been holding her back.

Rhianon Jones wrote “Cora Bora” and served as its executive producer. She joins us to talk about what the movie means to her and how she was influenced by her time in the Portland music scene.
