#BSFF17 I asked these 5 questions of Philly filmmaker Gabriela Watson Aurazo about her documentary (Flores de Baobá) BAOBAB FLOWERS which premieres BlackStar Film Festival on August 6th 11am. The film features two teachers who challenge the public educational system while trying to promote Black ancestry in the classroom. Here's an excerpt of her answers see the full video: tinseltine.com 1. In a nutshell what was the main inspiration for your film? 2. Where do you really shine as a filmmaker? Looking for more than directing, what aspect of the process is where you know you are most on point? 3. Give a quick shout out to your creative team and anyone who helped get your film from an idea to screening at Blackstar 4. How does food play a part in your film? It can be something you like to eat on set, while editing, something you ate that energized you for a long day shooting, a scene involving food, a restaurant/bar/coffee shop you like to go to when you wrap for the day or to write etc... 5. Quick reason why BlackStar Fillm Festival audiences should see your film? @blackstarfest #filmfestivals #directorinterview #educationaldocumentary #BAOBABFLOWERS #Brazil #Philadelphia #filminPhilly #PhillyCalendar #GabrielaWatsonAurazo
