Description

Our last Slamdance Film Festival interview is with director Alberto Gerosa from his film Dea.  We had an excellent time speaking with Alberto about his film which dives into the world of domestic help in Hong Kong.  His approach was unique as he immersed himself with the workers and then the script evolved out of a 9 month  acting improv laboratory with the group of Indonesian domestic workers, who have also been victims of domestic violence while working in Hong Kong.  They shared their stories which helped craft the story of the title character Dea. The migrant workers who are convinced to go to Hong Kong to work are taken advantage of and can not do any other work when they get to HK because of their work visa. Although Dea is considered  a drama, this is a reality for thousands of domestic workers.  We're appreciative of Alberto magnifying this real world storyline and happy we had the chance to amplify his work. You can follow Alberto on LinkedIn & Instagram --Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions
