WINDRIDER VIRTUAL FILM FORUM – Saturday, June 27, streaming at 7 pm PDT

Three short documentaries followed by moderated conversations with the filmmakers

WALK, RUN, CHA-CHA
This 2020 Oscar nominated documentary tells the story of Paul and Millie Cao, who rebuilt their lives as immigrants in America shortly after the end of the Vietnam war. Years later, they face one of life’s biggest challenges – going beyond one’s daily responsibilities to happiness and fulfillment. Come share their journey as they discover the joy of dance. We often hear the story of refugees escaping their countries in hope for a new life, but Walk, Run, Cha-Cha tells the story of what happens next.
Filmmaker Laura Nix joins Windrider for discussion following the film.

THAT’S MY JAZZ
What do you do when you are the son of a famous Jazz musician and want to honor his legacy? Become a world-renowned pastry chef. That’s My Jazz tells the story of Milton Abel II, Michelin star pastry chef, and his jazz legend father, Milton Abel, Sr. This documentary beautifully weaves the exceptional careers of this father and son and the challenge to find balance in life, against the backdrop of Jazz as a metaphor and reflection of life.
Filmmaker Ben Proudfoot will be in discussion with Windrider after the film.

IDENTITY: THE ANDREW NEMR STORY
It’s the human experience to face at some point the looming question, where do I fit in the world? In Identity, filmmaker Jon Cipiti tells the poignant story of world-famous tap dancer, Andrew Nemr, who discovered his gift of tap at an early age, then uses it to dance his way out of troubled times, express his joy in good times, and become the best version of himself possible.
Andrew Nemr and filmmaker Jon Cipiti team up in conversation following the film.
