A Mexican-American filmmaker and actor born and raised in Sacramento, California, Christina Robado makes her smash directorial debut drawing inspiration from fellow Sacramentan, Greta Gerwig.
BANE OF THE BEASTS - Alexis Wong - Alexis Wong grew up in Sacramento, CA where she found a passion for creating at a young age. She grew up to pursue a Masters in Animation at UCLA where she directed and animated several independent films. Bane follows a young creature unlike any other, that is shunned by all the herds of the land.
DIVEST! - Emily Fraser, Nicholas Berger (Bay Area Earth Guardians Crew) An animation about divesting from fossil fuels with drawings and narration by youth from Bay Area Earth Guardians Crew and Youth vs Apocalypse.
TUBES - Samantha Laurenti - after finishing with film school in 2014 Sacramento filmmaker Samantha Laurenti worked on as many sets as she could find in the Northern California area.
