Five films deeply rooted in local stories will screen at the 27th San Francisco Independent Film Festival, highlighting creative works from Bay Area filmmakers. These films, covering diverse genres from animation to romantic mystery, explore themes such as transformation, independence, trauma, and memory. Each filmmaker, including Anthony Hand, Anthony Lucero, Isaac Hirotsu Woofter, JP Allen, and Miyoni Nelson, brings unique narratives that reflect their experiences and ambitions. Lucero emphasizes that film festivals are crucial for gaining attention and recognition in the competitive landscape of independent filmmaking.
“For me, festivals are the only way to get enough attention on a film. Most of the time, studios are looking for a high-profile actor.”
“I got momentum and gained an audience and enough laurels and wins where people took note. Festivals really help in gaining recognition.”
