I AM SO THRILLED. @caamedia has been one of my favorite festivals in the country supporting non-traditional stories by API filmmakers. Their spirit is a gift to our industry. COMFORT FOOD has been selected to premiere in one of their six shorts programs (“Old Roots New Branches”) and we are so very honored. Stay tuned for more info, but check out our block Sunday 5/10 at 5:45pm
/2026/programs/old-roots-new-branches/ If you are in the Bay Area, we’d love to see you.
