Michelle Aguilar Ficara of Small Pumpkin Productions | We had a great program today by Michelle, a South Lake Tahoe native who is independent documentary film maker. She started off making film in high school, then after college graduation from Cal Poly SLO she went to Panama with the Peace Corps where she found the power of visual storytelling. She went on to India with Tibetan refugees, and during an interview with one of them when she said, "I need to learn how to do justice to their stories." Michelle then finished her studies in film at UC Santa Cruz. So far, Michelle has completed El Cacao, the Prospector, No Place to Grow, Space to Explore, Ben's Story, and perhaps her most famous one, Momentum - several of them are award winning. Momentum has been picked up by PBS and will be seen on television in May. Next up for Michelle, after the birth of her twins in May, is the inaugural Lake Tahoe Documentary Film Festival Oct. 4-6. For more information on her company, visit HERE, and on the film festival, take a look HERE. | | |
