Thank you to the whole Tri-Co Film Festival Team for this incredible opportunity to co-curate/co-juror with my bestie Set Hernandez Rongkilyo!
Muchas gracias to Sophia, Teddy, Julien, Bria, Allison, and Julia. Of course, thank you to the incredible filmmakers who produced and shared their work with us. Our curatorial process is fueled by your imagination, ideas and moving images.
As a former Bryn Mawr College student (class of 2017), Tri-Co Film Fest was my first opportunity to show my work to an audience. I’m so glad you all get to experience that feeling as well, even if it is virtually.
Set and myself have put some much heart into every film selection and named each program to represent a piece of our heritage: Tagalog, Spanish, and English. Each of these film programs touch on identity so we thought we would share a piece of ourselves with you all as well.
