From Fiona Otway
April 29, 2011Our dear friend, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Fiona Otway, is rocking the film world with her latest doc project, Hell and Back Again… Somehow in the midst of their phenomenal festival run and recent distribution deal, she still found time to include a post about our SIFF premiere. Her generosity cleary knows no bounds…
From Fiona’s blog: After years of hard work, courageous introspection, and potent creative collaborations, Seattle filmmaker Eli Kimaro will be sharing her debut feature documentary with the world. A LOT LIKE YOU screens at the Seattle International Film Festival on May 24th and June 12th. Don’t miss it!
Not only a remarkably personal record of the filmmaker’s own ethnic awakening, but also a compelling study on the roles that race and sex play in forming our cultural identities.
