This week we’re talking with two outstanding filmmakers from this year’s 2025 Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival.
Lee Ott discusses their journey to filmmaking and stop-motion animation, which led them to their directorial debut, Dragfox. A wildly impressive short film loaded with heart, design, and a fox in… you guessed it, DRAG! The short also features the voice-over work of Sir Ian McKellan.
We also interview Bijon, a remarkable filmmaker from Bangladesh. Bijon chats about the Bengali film community and his jaw-dropping short film, A Thing About Kashem. His approach to direction, and the brilliant use of color in his film, are all subjects of conversation.
Both Lee and Bijon also partake in a Gimme Three segment, where they each share three film recommendations!
Join us at LADFF 2025, where you can see both of these fantastic films.
