In this episode, we bring you an exclusive one-hour special highlighting this year’s CAAMFest. First, we speak to Director and Producer, Erica Tanamachi and Executive Producer, Diane Quon, about their documentary Home Court. CAAM-funded Home Court is a story of an All-American baller Ashley Chea following her pursuit of college level hoop dreams. In the three years this film follows her, we witness the highs and lows of her Cambodian immigrant family’s experiences in America. It will have its Bay Area premiere on May 12th at 12:30pm at the Great Star Theater in San Francisco as part of CAAMFest 2024. We then talk to Thúy Trần who is the Festival and Exhibitions Director of CAAMFest about this year’s program.

Transmission Studio is a series of intimate conversations with the independent artists and community-based organizations living and working within the vibrant, complicated and ever-evolving ecosystem of San Francisco arts and culture. It aspires to inform, inspire and more importantly spark meaningful and critical dialogue on the state of the artists who remain committed to this city in spite of unprecedented social, economic and political challenges.
