Welcome to our Sundance 2022 narrative features episode with three films that take you all around the world! Leonor Will Never Die is a Filipino film that follows a retired filmmaker as she becomes the action hero of her unfinished screenplay. The film's director, Martika Ramirez Escobar, explains her 8 year journey in creating the first grandma action hero in the Philippines, and how she blurred the lines between reality and fiction. Babysitter is a French Canadian film that explores what happens when a man makes a sexist joke that goes viral...and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Director and star Monia Chokri explains why she shouldn't have to explain this film, and hopes it sparks further conversation (and further love for the singer Peaches). Every Day in Kaimuki is the story of a Hawaiian native who is struggling with the fear and doubt of leaving his small home town. We have a full on party for this interview, with the director/co-writer Alika Tengan, talent Rina White, producer Jesy Odio, and cinematographer/producer Chapin Hall. We discuss how the film magically came together (during a pandemic!) in 14 months from start to finish, and how the lead in the film's real life inspired the film.You can follow director Martika Ramirez Escobar on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow director/actor Monia Chokri on IG & FBYou can follow director Alika Tengan on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow actor Rina White on IG You can follow producer Jesy Odio on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow cinematographer/producer Chapin Hall on IG & TwitterThanks for listening and for your support!
