BONUS Episode: Minding The Gap(with Bing Liu and Diane Quon)

Bonus episode of Saturday School this week, as we speak with director Bing Liu and producer Diane Quon about their Sundance Award-winning documentary Minding the Gap. In the film, Bing Liu documents the stories of a couple of his skateboarding friends from Rockford, Illinois, and they bond over their volatile relationships with their fathers. We talk about Bing's route into filmmaking through his experimentation within the skateboarding video form, how he expands beyond it into traditional documentary, and how he worked with Steve James' Kartemquin Films to bring his story to life.

It's playing this Saturday, May 5 at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival - and since they're on a nation-wide, world-wide festival run, it's very likely coming to a film festival near you.
