This film was also apart of the Hollyshorts Film Festival and its a great short film and I had the pleasure of getting to chat with the director and co-writer of the film, Gabriela Garcia Medina. This is a fun film and you can actually go check it out right now, before or after you listen to this podcast episode, at Bertie the Brilliant on PBS.org. Gabriela was a lot of fun to chat with and I can't wait to see what else she creates in the future.
