Sundance 2025
March 27, 2025My first Sundance ever and it’s for a Sacramento + Bay Area made film called En Memoria by hometown heroes Roberto Fatal, Ali Meyers-Ohki and I got to go with my mama 🫶🥺🌁
It’s like I entered another world when I went to Sundance. Before that, I was living through fire, ash, and smoke, evacuating my home, and then coming back to our new presidency and the turmoil that comes with it. Not to mention, film production hasn't picked up in LA in what feels like forever. It all made me feel like I am not meant to do what I love and that I won’t live a long life. I felt devastated for my LA community.
The turmoil that makes us only see doom is exactly what they want. Sundance reminded me that artists coming together can make a new world happen. I saw people come together like never before in LA. Our connections to each other are our salvation. That “I’m big, you’re small” mentality is short-lived and weak!
Many of us are small, but many small people together are powerful and are in it for the long haul. The chain of generosity is endless, and I saw that over and over again at Sundance and in LA
