Backstreet to the American Dream

Backstreet to the American Dream is a bilingual documentary that explores the modern-day American Dream. This deep dive into the birthplace of the food truck revolution – Los Angeles – juxtaposes the experiences of American entrepreneurs and Mexican immigrants in the industry, and looks at how street food fosters racial tolerance. Indeed, central to the story are two very distinct enterprises: El Pescadito - a seafood truck that’s been parking at the same swap meet in South L.A. since 1982, and Grill ‘Em All, the prestigious first-season winner of The Great Food Truck Race on The Food Network in 2010.

Home is more than a place where we live. It is also a feeling of trust, being within your family. This feeling is transferred from generation to generation. This film follows a little boy losing his home through mourning and relocation, and questions if it is possible to recapture the feeling in another place. A central theme in the film is the nature of connections between generations. Differences, similarities, and behaviour patterns that are transferred between the old and the new worlds. They tie together individuals and generations in a family the same way as fine silk threads interlace within the cloth.

Refuge for Resurgence, Window View

The “Window View” from “Refuge for Resurgence” offers a glimpse into a layered rewilded city: various notions of normality are now underwater. It depicts how human and nonhuman life come together to revive their surroundings. It imagines a new home, a home built on humility, resourcefulness, and imagination. A home strong enough to weather the storm, to rise from the flood, to endure the heat. This might be a hotter, wetter, more organic city cohabited by all species. Hope is the linchpin of resurgence.
