DIRECTORS PROFILE
Elsis Saravia, Isaiah Puletasi, Yulieth Aguilar, Michelle Gao, Sojo Titus, Naomi Garcia Pasmanick
Directors Bio :
Five high school BAYCAT Academy Interns, The Crew, had 9 weeks to produce this piece. They planned the shots and interview questions with the help of their mentor, Naomi Garcia Pasmanick. Naomi filmed on location on their behalf. The Crew finished by editing the piece in close collaboration with the protagonists of the film.
Directors Statement :
Lauren and Isaac are skilled in the age-old craft of sign painting. In a digital world, creating a documentary with teenaged youth about an analogue and physical process helped offer us perspective on creativity, tradition, and intention. As San Francisco creatives, it was honor to document multidisciplinary artists that keep the Bay Area beautiful with their custom signs.
