Grrrillah Filmmaking

Sycamore Street Productions, a.k.a SS Girl Gang, is proud to partner with Locus Arts to offer Grrrillah filmmaking in Three Parts. Grrrillah Filmmaking in Three Parts is a series of three workshops that will be open windows simultaneously accompanying the making of our feature film, Kiều. Kiều transforms the classic Việtnamese epic poem Truyện Kiều (The Tale of Kiều), into an experimental narrative about a Việtnamese massage parlor worker in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.
