This episode brings you an interview and a memorable red carpet experience for a SXSW film that we had so much fun watching!

I Don't Understand You is a narrative film that follows an American couple on the verge of adopting a baby as they find themselves stranded in rural Italy without transportation or language skills. And of course, chaos ensues. Our first interview is with producers Jessamine Burgum and Kara Durrett from Pinky Promise Films. We get into starting a production company during the heart of the pandemic, their decision making process for new films, how being a young company is an advantage in an ever changing industry, and what a difference it makes to work with really cool people.

We cap off this episode at the red carpet premiere for the film, where we were joined by co-directors/co-writers David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, and actors Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector, and Eleonora Romandini. We talk about everything from parenting fears and horse sausage, to fake Italian accents and big clit energy! In short, it was a good time.

This is a special episode because we loved this SXSW documentary so much, we're covering it with two separate interviews!

Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a heart-warming film about the love between a man and a wild otter, set in the remote Scottish islands of Shetland. We are first joined by director Charlie Hamilton James and producer Jeff Wilson who share how they met Billy and Molly, the concept behind the incredible cinematography, and why they wanted to make a film that made people feel good.

Our second interview is with the film's main subjects, Billy and Susan Mail, who explain why they wanted to share their story, how Susan felt about being chosen to narrate the film, and how this film (and their relationship with Molly, which is still going strong!) has changed their lives.

We've been wanting Gina Mariko Rosales on the show for a long time, and when you give this episode a listen, you'll see why! She gets into her origin story (born and raised in Daly City), and how working in the corporate world led her to start Make it Mariko, a Bay Area creative events agency led by women of color. Then we dive into the impact that Undiscovered SF has had on the Filipino community in the Bay, and why she was inspired to create the first annual all inclusive POC Food and Wine Festival (running May 2-5, 2024). This is a fun one, enjoy!
