Episode 129: Carl Bessai

Veteran director Carl Bessai collaborated with 17 remarkable women in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto to create In Her City. The feature film presents 17 vignettes that are drawn from the collaborators’ lives as 20-something urban-dwellers. Every person’s experience of their city is wholly unique, and how each story is told is different – and yet the fact that these women are all striving to live their truth is the thread that binds In Her City into one deeply moving, charming, and wildly entertaining cinematic journey. In Her City screens this December as part of the 2020 Whistler Film Festival – and in this fascinating conversation, Carl Bessai discusses the hows and whys of this beautiful, sometimes whimsical, and poignant film.
