SILAS HOWARD x HARRY DODGE | Artist Takeover

In this special Artist Takeover, we welcome award winning director (Transparent, Pose, Dickinson) Silas Howard in conversation with celebrated writer and visual artist Harry Dodge. Long time friends and collaborators they discuss among other things working together on their film By Hook or By Crook about their experience in San Francisco’s queer community. They open up the show speaking about how narrative can be a powerful tool in films as the plot will closely overlap with activism.Plus,they discuss how representation is almost always disappointing- Sila’s meteoric rise as a trans filmmaker and we listen as Harry reads an excerpt from his new book, My Meteorite: Or, Without the Random There Can Be No New Thing. Tune in as Harry and Silas explain why Covid is the perfect opportunity to realize that we are all interconnected in society.
