The Bentonville Film Festival (BFF) was founded in 2015 by Academy Award–winning actress Geena Davis. The mission of the festival is to influence mainstream media to increase diversity and the presence of underrepresented groups in their content. We were honored to speak to two filmmakers who presented projects at the 2023 festival.
In this episode, we talk about…
-
Meghan’s project, Here to Make Friends, and its diverse cast and crew
-
The difficulties Meghan had in filming her episodic proof in Texas when abortion became illegal
-
Sierra’s film, Joonam, which won “Best Documentary Feature” at BFF
-
What it was like to watch footage with actual subtitles, compared to the translation she received during filming
