    Sundance 2026 - Once Upon a Time in Harlem and The Baddest Speechwriter of All

    Send a text This episode is the warm hug that we all need right now. It will introduce you to two beautifully moving Sundance films that highlight important parts of Black American history. Once Upon a Time in Harlem invites the viewer to be a fly on the wall at a gathering of Harlem Renaissance artists and intellectuals at Duke Ellington's house in the summer of 1972. Director David Greaves and producer Liani Greaves join us to discuss the importance of engaging in meaningful communication, honoring William Greaves' legacy, and the significance of this film being released 50 years later. The Baddest Speechwriter of All is a short film about MLK's attorney and speechwriter, Dr. Clarence B. Jones. Co-director Ben Proudfoot and producer Erick Peyton sit down to discuss working with Stephen Curry (as co-director), the colorful way they decided to open the film, and why Dr. Clarence's life makes them optimistic about the future.

    Sundance 2026 - Levitating, Bedford Park and Jaripeo

    Send a text Levitating (Para Perasuk) follows Bayu as he attempts to become a shaman of a trance party so he can make enough money to keep from being evicted. We were joined by director Wregas Bhanuteja, and stars Anggun and Maudy Ayunda, to discuss the historical roots of trance parties in Indonesia, why Wregas was inspired to write this story, the creative way that Anggun channelled the sounds of an ant, and how Maudy choreographed her own trance dance moves. Bedford Park is the beautiful tale of two lost souls colliding, a Korean American woman struggling with family expectations and her own aspirations, and an ex-wrestler haunted by his past. We sat down with director Stephanie Ahn to discuss her years long process in casting, why becoming a mother helped her make this film, and the contradictory love languages between eastern culture and western culture. Jaripeo is a documentary about the queer desires that come to the surface on the sidelines of Michoacán’s hyper-masculine rodeos. We were joined by co-directors Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig to share why they wanted to make this film, how they decided that Efraín needed to be on camera, and why the queer community in Michoacán gives them hope.

    Sundance 2026 Short Films Selections - Crisis Actor, Taga and Prime

    Send a text Today we're bringing you three Sundance Film Festival short film narratives that explore the darker side of life. Crisis Actor follows an impulsive actress as she reaches a breaking point in her addiction to drama. We sit down with director/writer Lily Platt and actor Sarah Steele to talk victimhood, privilege, and why everyone could use a little therapy. Congrats to Crisis Actor for winning the Short Film Jury Award for US Fiction! Taga follows a Filipino American as she travels to the Philippines to reconnect to her roots, but encounters a group of eco-volunteers who disturb the village and awaken ancient monsters. Director/writer Jill Marie Sachs and producer Louise Barretto join us to discuss the wealth of monsters and folklore in Filipino culture, why they prepared an offering for the land before filming in a remote village of the Philippines, and how "woke backpackers" can sometimes turn toxic. In Prime, a trauma victim joins a utopian farm and realizes she's bitten off more than she can chew. Director/writer Meagan Coyle joins us to discuss why people are drawn to cults, the art of pacing in a short film, and how she went from make-up artist to director.
