Geek Girls is about nerdy women - the "hidden half" of fan culture - who open up about their lives in the world of conventions, video games, and other rife-with-misogyny pop culture touchstones. While geek communities have recently risen to prominence, very little attention is paid to geek women. The film features a feminist geek blogger, a convention-trotting cosplayer, a professional gamer, a video-game designer, and a NASA engineer. Through their personal experiences in the rich cultural explosion of nerdom, Geek Girls shows both the exhilaration of newfound community and the ennui of being ostracized. These women, striving in their respective professions and passions, face the cyberbullying, harassment, and sexism that permeate the culture and the industry at large. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1493176568520-97VJ2128TOS9M5YNN5P4/sonitahush.jpg Work and Projects - Women Make Movies - Sonita (Copy) Sonita Two-time Sundance Film Festival award winner SONITA tells the inspiring story of Sonita Alizadeh, an 18-year-old Afghan refugee in Iran, who thinks of Michael Jackson and Rihanna as her spiritual parents and dreams of becoming a big-name rapper. For the time being, her only fans are the other teenage girls in a Tehran shelter. And her family has a very different future planned for her: as a bride she's worth $9,000. Iranian director Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami (GOING UP THE STAIRS) poignantly shifts from observer to participant altering expectations, as Sonita's story unfolds in this personal and joyful portrait. An intimate portrait of creativity and womanhood, SONITA highlights the rarely seen intricacies and shifting contrasts of Iranian society through the lens of an artist who is defining the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1482801042676-7E3G17D485GKHUIF19PY/indias.jpg Work and Projects - Women Make Movies - India's Daughter (Copy) India's Daughter For India's Daughter (2015), I conducted all research for multi-channel, impact campaigns and identified key partners for each individual campaign.

More important to the mission, the film has been placed in over 200 domestic violence shelters nationwide and the list is still growing.

Young mom Asia hides nothing about her work-hard, play-hard lifestyle, and expects the same openness and honesty from teenage Vika. But Vika is at an age where privacy and independence are paramount, and inevitably begins to rebel against her mom’s parenting style. With two stubborn and opinionated women under one roof, Asia finds herself in new territory and stumbles to achieve a balance between asserting her parental authority and respecting her daughter’s point of view. When health issues lead Vika to be confined to a wheelchair and her need for romantic experiences and sexual exploration becomes more urgent, Asia realizes she must get out of the way so that her daughter can live her life. In her debut feature film, Israeli filmmaker Ruthy Pribar focuses on a pair of Russian immigrants in Israel, candidly exploring the challenges of motherhood and the desires of the differently-abled. —Miriam Garcia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1587833415334-N91T5L9EY6E3A9KCRQA3/full_Tribeca_Love_Spreads_3_1080p.png Work and Projects - Tribeca Film Festival - Assistant Programmer - My Review: Love Spreads Spotlight Narrative - World Premiere FEATURE | WALES | 93 MINUTES To keep their recent successes fresh, all-female rock band Glass Heart seclude themselves in a remote cottage to work on their second album. The studio is brimming with inspiration; even a lowly wall in the garden has once inspired greatness (Oasis’s Wonderwall, according to legend). Faced with mounting pressure from studio executives, singer-songwriter Kelly (Alia Shawkat) shuts down. Tensions form between the band members and manager Mark (Nick Helm) as frustrations as days tick relentlessly on. Digs and accusations mingle with boredom and machinations as they wait for Kelly’s creative block to lift. Shawkat’s wonderfully subtle performance succeeds in balancing ego and frailty, and leaves band members and viewers alike walking on eggshells. Love Spreads is a tight and humorous drama that explores the fragility of group dynamics and creative exhaustion. What does it mean to be creative, and are friendships, mental health, and even family worth sacrificing for a great album?—Miriam Garcia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1587833836330-V4APUOBM01AB82J8EFOM/full_Tribeca_Looking_For_A_Lady_With_Fangs_And_A_Moustache_2_1080p.png Work and Projects - Tribeca Film Festival - Assistant Programmer - My Review: Looking for a Lady Looking for a Lady with Fangs and a Moustache Viewpoints - US Premiere FEATURE | NEPAL | 113 MINUTES Tenzin (Tsering Tashi Gyalthang) is a young musician and entrepreneur living in a fast-changing Nepal; he plans to open his own coffee shop, which he hopes will attract Western tourists. But even as he thinks he’s moving forward, he struggles with a disconnect from his culture and is destabilized by otherworldly visions of women who seem to follow him across Kathmandu. At a close friend’s behest, Tenzin confides in an eccentric monk (Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche), who interprets these hallucinations as death omens—that is, unless Tenzin commits to a journey of self-discovery and a reckoning with his spiritual skepticism. Khyentse Norbu—whose Vara: A Blessing was awarded at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival—brings his experience as a Buddhist lama to bear on Looking for a Lady with Fangs and a Moustache. In this film, his fourth feature, he explores the tensions between capitalism and traditionalism that roil in a time when religion may be as commodified as a kitschy curio. But what emerges in Tenzin’s atmospheric music, and in the trancelike cinematography of Mark Lee Ping-bing (In the Mood for Love), is the need to cut through these distractions to truly reconnect with life’s fundamentals.—Miriam Garcia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1587834070399-JKZGCADSUVAI2XYBCQM5/full_Tribeca_Pacified_2_1080p.png Work and Projects - Tribeca Film Festival - Assistant Programmer - My review: Pacified Viewpoints - New York Premiere FEATURE | BRAZIL | 120 MINUTES Tati (Cassia Gil), is a 13-year-old living in a Brazilian favela. Her mother Andrea (Débora Nascimento) wants to escape with Tati but struggles due to her drug addiction. Her family and living situation changes abruptly when Jaca (Bukassa Kabengele), the former leader of the favela, is released from prison and returns. His presence creates tension between the community and the new leaders that have taken his place. The film takes place during the Olympics in Brazil, when the country's police and government implemented an operation called pacification, aiming to quell violence in the favelas by sending armed police forces to these neighborhoods. What this policy created was a complex layer of violence that was mostly sustained by the criminalization of poverty. Pacified is the new film by American filmmaker Paxton Winters, produced by Darren Aronofsky. The film won the Golden Shell at the 2019 San Sebastian Film Festival.—Miriam Garcia https://www.miriamgarcia.me/work-and-projects/the-creative-independent-collaborator-a3mmg monthly 0.5 2026-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/33d7cc03-7864-4171-b41a-0584f6f738b6/Bret+McKenzie+Interview Work and Projects - The Creative Independent - Contributing Writer - Make it stand out Bret McKenzie is a Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist, most well-known for his band Flight of the Conchords and their eponymous television show.

Through her performance-based practice, Magid has initiated intimate relations with a number of organizations and structures of authority. She explores the emotional, philosophical, and legal tensions between the individual and “protective” institutions, such as intelligence agencies or the police. To work alongside or within large organizations, Magid makes use of institutional quirks, systemic loopholes that allow her to make contact with people “on the inside” and her work tends to be characterized by the dynamics of seduction, the resulting narratives often taking the form of a love story. It is typical of Magid’s practice that she follows the rules of engagement with an institution to the letter – sometimes to the point of absurdity. An adjunct teacher at Cooper Union, Magid is the author of four novellas. Her first feature film, The Proposal, premiered at Tribeca Film Festival 2018 and received an Honorable Mention for Best Emerging Filmmaker at Hot Docs in Toronto. Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Fundacion Jumex, and the Walker Art Center, among others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1586450335501-RVYGAFCB6GY3TK6MU3K1/The+Creative+Independent+Interview+Jill+Magid Work and Projects - The Creative Independent - Contributing Writer Interview with artist and filmmaker Jill Magid.

His creative process involves an attentive, careful search for the living roots and rituals that are part of South American identity—its Andean and African origins in particular—valuing its rhythms, its oral traditions, its instruments, and the energy they transmit. His first record, Prender el Alma (2015), explored the development of consciousness and spirituality, and how they connect with music. In Siku, his most recent production, Cruz continues this exploration, expanding his vision towards new stories and other cultures as sources of inspiration. A crucial aspect of this journey is his collaboration with other artists from around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5860ad794402439b0c840b1b/1570591892606-JOA20LZ3MZ1PKD4TRJFV/Interview+the+Creative+Independent+Nicola+Cruz Work and Projects - The Creative Independent - Contributing Writer Interview with electronic musician Nicola Cruz.
