In episode 5 of season 2, our host, Alan Fear, sits down with filmmaker Karina Dandashi.
Karina Dandashi is a Syrian-American Muslim filmmaker born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA.

Her work has been featured in numerous Oscar-Qualifying festivals around the U.S. and recently screened at The Museum of Modern Art. Karina is a 2020 Creative Culture Fellow at The Jacob Burns Film Center and a 2021 Sundance Ignite Fellow.
